STRING THEORY - Episode 012 — "Freya’s Grief"

Days After the Incident

The school declared a week of “mental health break.” But in truth, it was chaos disguised in silence.

No one spoke of Garah anymore—only the spectacle of her fall.

The viral clip. The audio-less footage.

And the girl they all forgot before she even vanished.

Freya stayed home.

She didn’t eat.

She didn’t sleep.

She stared at her sister’s empty bed.

The lavender pillow. The untouched books. The missing bracelet.

But something kept buzzing in her head—

> "Why did Garah wear it again? She promised she wouldn’t..."

Freya’s Dream

52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCA6Anwscj

Garah stood in the hallway. Smiling.

"Freya..."

Her voice was soft. Almost... relieved.

"Don’t trust the girl with a scar on her left hand."

Then darkness.

Freya woke up gasping.

She turned on her lamp—

—and screamed.

The bracelet… was sitting on her bedside table.

Wrapped in red string. As if it had walked back.

Sandra’s House

52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkCWe2Ahkj

Sandra scribbled in her journal. Her handwriting jagged.

"Garah was weak. She broke the rules."

She paused.

"But Freya is different."

52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1mp8eBFrH

Sandra’s mom knocked. “Someone’s at the door.”

It was Pearl.

Eyes puffy. Voice shaking.

“She’s awake.”

Hospital Room

Garah opened her eyes.

But she didn’t look at her mother. Or the nurse.

Her eyes locked onto one thing:

A window. And behind the glass—

A girl she knew.

Or used to know.

Freya.

But as their eyes met...

Garah’s expression twisted in terror.

She pointed.

"Don’t let her wear it!" she screamed.

Cut to: A New Girl

A quiet, smiling student transfers from another city.

She finds an abandoned locker.

Inside: a delicate, glowing bracelet… with a broken clasp.

52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMGxCY4Mv3

She touches it—

and a faint red string slithers across her skin.

The curse isn’t over.

It’s just beginning.
