Elliot stood in the center of the room, his steps weighted like iron but his eyes… those eyes stared at Jayden as if he had been waiting for this moment all along.
The subtle hiss of oxygen being pumped through vents above filled the silence, making the fear in the room louder than any scream could ever be.

“Brother,” Elliot said, his voice deep and cracked with age, pain… and something else vengeance.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtCIpM30Crm
Jayden couldn’t speak. His mouth opened, but no words came out. He didn’t see a prisoner. He saw a ghost one he thought he’d buried.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJsDXUNO2l
“But... you died. I saw the files. We buried”
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4RL6vYSE4a
“We buried a body that wasn’t mine,” Elliot cut in, his voice sharp as broken glass. “I vanished in a plan you helped design, alongside The Eye. You agreed to erase your memory, Jayden, so you wouldn’t have to carry the guilt of what we did.”
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0lJPY9N9w
Ezra remained silent, eyes scanning Elliot’s every breath and gesture. Something larger than a torture program was unfolding.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohPxvirPpK
From the corner, Rhea whispered, “The Eye… is that the group behind all this?”
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG2ZyRyoTDB
Elliot smiled bitterly. “The Eye no longer exists. It was dismantled five years ago. But its inheritors gave birth to something worse The Silence Protocol. And Jayden… Jayden was one of the architects.”
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWaVoXNP5j
Jayden staggered backward. His chest rose and fell, erratic. “I don’t remember… I don’t even remember why we would create something like this.”
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEcc61reH3X
Elliot’s face darkened. “Because we feared truth. We built this to bury it with silence. You made them forget. I made them disappear.”
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23OgUG0k3Q
A heavy hush blanketed the room.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1IFPtL0xgm
Then, the Host’s voice returned — broken, glitched, almost as if the system itself was cracking:
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5uMNEu99o
“Confession received. Stage Two: Collide and Divide.
All subjects must choose: memory… or freedom.”
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtH3nzkYykk
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWb1EwBMlX
The walls hissed open, and five new doors revealed themselves. Each bore a different symbol:
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCA6kJhWdwO
1. 🗡️ A knife — The Room of Sacrifice
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjotARFb7qw
2. 🪞 A mirror — The Room of True Reflection
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzg2uJh6X5
3. ⏰ A clock — The Room of Time Revisited
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgY9x4fdAhc
4. ⚖️ A scale — The Room of Judgment
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmThaPZRQgz
5. 🕶️ A blindfold — The Room of Truth Unseen
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2f6CwsHylE
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2OowFi2c5
Elliot turned to Jayden. “This is your design. Each path reflects your fear… your sin… your silence.”
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLvSxt92dMW
Ezra stepped toward the door with the clock. His eyes burned with a strange hope. “If this lets us go back even through memory maybe we can fix it.”
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSH2l0otAPe
Lena interjected softly. “You don’t change the past. You survive it.”
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRqW3SzbSb
Jayden bit back the tears. His entire being trembled beneath the weight of his own forgotten sins.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHMmpLDyNZg
“We buried the truth with technology,” he whispered.
“But the pain… never died.”
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAAaxvZLObq
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrEPinFcFK9
One by one, they made their choices: – Ezra walked through the clock — chasing redemption.
– Lena stepped toward the scale — ready to face her judgment.
– Rhea chose the mirror — confronting the face she’d long avoided.
– Elliot disappeared behind the blindfold — perhaps to spare himself… or them.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8vew70SMK9
Jayden stood alone.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNpwYVi9tCQ
Only the knife remained.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQcxFOYoBL
He reached for the handle and glanced up toward the surveillance camera.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR6FPx9Uyru
“Tell me one last thing before I go in,” he said.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1SsZvx8Fx4
The Host answered one final time:
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6AiPD2jKe3
“Do you still believe you were the hero...
or were you simply the loudest voice in a room full of silence?”
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmurrVqUFq1
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSyohWxDao1
Jayden said nothing.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzm2Edc34W
He stepped inside.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoanf9HIpWT
The door sealed behind him. Darkness fell.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXjsp2eB7C
And the true reckoning began.
