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.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5snIGJrAG
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.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfaJcZHEKm
“But... you died. I saw the files. We buried”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WCKl7fibX
“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.”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡye9LTTkiVh
Ezra remained silent, eyes scanning Elliot’s every breath and gesture. Something larger than a torture program was unfolding.

From the corner, Rhea whispered, “The Eye… is that the group behind all this?”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHE637YkzQ
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.”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQPQ8ZYod1
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.”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnm0naH9wx7
Elliot’s face darkened. “Because we feared truth. We built this to bury it with silence. You made them forget. I made them disappear.”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBuyPP5gEJA
A heavy hush blanketed the room.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHL24NQPUR
Then, the Host’s voice returned — broken, glitched, almost as if the system itself was cracking:
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhk4uQrubr6
“Confession received. Stage Two: Collide and Divide.
All subjects must choose: memory… or freedom.”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQn4wXNyjK
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLVjVVQ14G
The walls hissed open, and five new doors revealed themselves. Each bore a different symbol:
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡscvnMMysWS
1. 🗡️ A knife — The Room of Sacrifice
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYQiK3rn7M
2. 🪞 A mirror — The Room of True Reflection
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1YQgThN0Av
3. ⏰ A clock — The Room of Time Revisited
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvcs4Uak4oG
4. ⚖️ A scale — The Room of Judgment
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3NGsGBKkaE
5. 🕶️ A blindfold — The Room of Truth Unseen
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9i6mI6r0R
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5yyyGSptm
Elliot turned to Jayden. “This is your design. Each path reflects your fear… your sin… your silence.”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3bSxryp04e
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.”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTym5HpimY
Lena interjected softly. “You don’t change the past. You survive it.”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfNFeBZj7B2
Jayden bit back the tears. His entire being trembled beneath the weight of his own forgotten sins.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡywUVtgwqc2
“We buried the truth with technology,” he whispered.
“But the pain… never died.”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQO5fLWMpe
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfjSOQke2R
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.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSGG0aokvb
Jayden stood alone.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjrBroFgKw
Only the knife remained.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFY32Mz3Xdq
He reached for the handle and glanced up toward the surveillance camera.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rOzl0JrzD
“Tell me one last thing before I go in,” he said.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVX4amHgQE
The Host answered one final time:
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1iLESaACov
“Do you still believe you were the hero...
or were you simply the loudest voice in a room full of silence?”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZCOgAYU4n
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttlrruVl8D
Jayden said nothing.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9WVNKRoV6k
He stepped inside.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYBo0DlxwxP
The door sealed behind him. Darkness fell.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYNPgRnuW04
And the true reckoning began.
