Classroom – The Next Day

Garah returned to class with eyes heavier than her bag.

She barely slept.

The image of the String Registry kept looping in her mind.

The silver-haired boy’s words echoed like a curse:

27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpubJtRlpXi

“You chose to forget.”

Now, her bracelet had changed.

It wasn’t just glowing.

27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5FemEwuR1

It was searching.

Seatmate Talks

“Garah, you okay?”

Sandra leaned over, her voice sweet, a little too careful.

27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2InsIyQqQJ

Garah nodded. “Just… tired.”

Sandra tilted her head. “Nightmares?”

27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoT4o8tMUjC

“Something like that.”

Garah’s fingers hovered over her bracelet. “Do you know anything about… this?”

Sandra blinked.

“No,” she lied.

“Looks like a good-luck charm.”

27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCLumFAwXw

But beneath the table, Sandra's own string was pulsing.

Vibrating with tension.

The connection between them

Sandra’s Room — A Week Ago

A red thread dangled from her ceiling, ending in mid-air.

She stared at it.

27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2IppA9kNlK

Fingers trembling, she reached up and cut it.

Blood fell from her nose instantly.

27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6K7blUGeuE

But she didn’t flinch.

27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC2uX0Y3vQ6

“That’s one gone. Two more left.”

She marked something on a wall behind a mirror.

Three tally marks.

Now only two.

Back to Present: Classroom

As the teacher lectured, Garah’s bracelet lit up and vibrated—fast.

27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6yKtuYsvQB

She looked down.

The string glowed bright red.

It was connecting.

To someone.

To someone inside the room.

She stood up suddenly.

“I—I need to go.”

Without waiting for permission, she ran out.

Sandra’s eyes followed her.

School Hallway

Garah reached the hallway just as the thread from her bracelet flew forward—turning a sharp corner.

She chased it, heart pounding.

Down the stairs.

Past the faculty office.

27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Uoijrg8mg

Out into the courtyard.

It stopped.

Hanging in mid-air.

She turned slowly—

27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbukPgIIhwL

And came face-to-face with a boy she’d never seen before.

Black jacket.

White earphones.

No string on his wrist.

27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyByp0YvR85

But when their eyes met—

Her thread shot straight into his chest.

27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmi3I4RLWYe

And vanished.

🗨️ “What did you do to me?” she whispered.

He pulled one earphone out, confused.

“You can… see it?”
