"If you don't remember who you are…
then you're not human.
You are the Silence."
🕯️ Dawn of the Day – The Broken Reflection
Kael woke up in the infirmary of the Temporal Academy , under cold lights that flickered as if they too were afraid.
Mira was no longer beside him.
On the wall in front of him, a broken mirror showed fragments of his reflection. But something was wrong.
One of the pieces didn't show him.
It showed someone else.
A different Kael. Taller. With completely white eyes. The Reality Dagger in his right hand. And behind him, a crack open like a hungry mouth.
— Another vision? Mira asked, entering with firm steps.
— No, Kael replied, not looking away from the mirror.
— That was me.
Mira approached slowly.
— What did you see?
— Myself. But I didn't recognize me.
There was a heavy silence between them.
— Then we don't have much time left, Mira said, handing him an old folder.
— This was found last night, before Lyra disappeared.
Kael opened the folder.
It was a medical report.
With his name on it.
And one word written at the end:
"Project: Silence"
💬 Intense Dialogue – Between Fear and Necessity
— How long have they known about us? Kael asked, flipping through the pages.
— Forever, Mira replied.
— They programmed us, Kael. We're part of the system.
— I'm not an experiment.
— You were. Until you started remembering.
— And what happens when I remember too much?
Mira lowered her voice.
— They erase you. Or turn you into one of them.
— Into what?
— Into the Void.
Kael clenched his fists.
— I won't let that happen.
— And what if it already has?
He looked at her sharply.
— Do you think I'm not me anymore?
— I think you're not just you anymore.
🏛️ Cracks in the Past – Erased Histories
Determined to learn more about Project: Silence , Kael and Mira infiltrated Area Zero of the Academy — a forbidden zone even for the teachers.
There, they found hidden files, camera recordings that had been offline for years… and a room full of mirrors.
Mirrors that didn't show normal reflections.
They showed moments from the past. Of people who had vanished.
Ryn. Jenno. Lyra. Even others they couldn't remember meeting.
— What is this place? Kael asked.
— A broken memory, Mira answered.
— An archive of what no longer exists.
In one of the mirrors, Aria appeared.
It wasn't a recording. She was real.
She was inside the mirror.
— Aria! Kael shouted, running toward her.
— Don't touch it, she warned from the other side.
— Or you'll be trapped too.
— How do we get out of here? Mira asked, frightened.
— The mirrors are changing.
Kael looked around.
The images moved. Shattered. Rewrote themselves.
— They're not just memories, he said.
— They're possibilities.
— Of who we could have been.
🔥 Key Moment – The Fire That Doesn't Burn
A crack appeared in the center of the room.
But this time, it didn't absorb anyone.
It burned.
It released black flames that didn't destroy… they erased.
A figure emerged from it.
A man wearing the Academy's uniform, but with completely empty eyes.
— You shouldn't be here, he said, with a voice that seemed to come from everywhere.
— Who are you? Kael asked.
— I'm who remains of you… if you keep searching for answers.
— What does that mean?
— It means you can't remember everything, the figure replied.
— Because some things were erased for a reason.
Mira stepped back.
— Kael… that man is you.
The figure smiled.
— Only an improved version.
🪞 Inner Conflict – Two Selves
Kael faced his double.
There were no punches. No weapons.
Only words.
— Why are you here? Kael asked.
— Because you refuse to accept it, the other replied.
— That you're not human. Never were.
— Liar.
— How many memories have you lost? How many names can't you remember?
— It doesn't mean they weren't real.
— But you can't prove they were.
Kael felt a pain in his chest. Not physical. Existential.
— Then what am I?
— You are the Silence, the figure said.
— The first mistake of the system. The only one that cannot be erased.
— And what happens if I keep remembering?
— You break the world.
🧩 Final Discovery – The Origin of the System
After defeating his reflection (without harming it), Kael and Mira managed to escape the mirror room.
They found a new map. It had only two locations marked:
Zone 09 – Original Refuge
Dark Zone – Heart of the System
Under the map, there was a handwritten note:
"The Silence was born as a defense."
"Now, it threatens to consume us all."
Mira looked at him.
— Are we going?
— Yes, Kael replied.
— This time, it's not just to find Aria.
— Then why?
Kael tucked the note into his pocket.
— To understand why I'm here. And why I can't stop remembering.
🌌 Final Fragment – Future Vision
That night, Kael dreamed.
He saw a distant future.
A city in ruins.
A blonde woman standing before a giant mirror.
And a familiar voice calling her:
"Aria… where is Kael?"
She didn't answer.
She only pointed at the mirror.
Inside, a body fell endlessly.
His eyes were white.
His hand held the Reality Dagger .
And behind him, a crack opened wide.
Like the beginning…
and the end.
