STRING THEORY - Episode 008 — “The Threadless Boy”

School Courtyard – After the Thread Disappeared

Garah stood frozen, staring at the boy.

The red string from her bracelet had entered his chest.

Then it was gone.

No glow.

No tug.

Just silence.

Boy:

He looked around, unsure if he was being pranked.

His expression was calm—but his eyes were strangely sharp.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgD1b57Jpz8

“Are you okay?” he asked, voice low and gentle.

Garah blinked.

“You… You don’t feel anything?”

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0szRxGdbKU

He shrugged. “I was just listening to music. What should I be feeling?”

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHlpvjVVXZZ

Garah looked at his wrist.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCiqlI91DXp

No thread.

No glow. No bracelet. No sign of the Registry.

Present

Garah took a shaky step back.

“You’re not in the system,” she whispered.

“You’re not even supposed to be visible to me…”

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWG7bvjtjGD

“Wow,” he smiled. “Is this a weird confession or…?”

She flushed.

“No! I mean… this—this thing. This string.”

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3mOBQztBF

He finally looked serious.

“What string?”

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhaXF3W0O0

📍 Internal Thought: Garah

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3vDX92YJA

He really can’t see it.

But why was I connected to him?

Why did it choose him?

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnsI0N6fPUu

And why did the string vanish?

Later That Day — Rooftop

Garah stared at the sky, questioning everything.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8MdRDclXf

Then a voice spoke behind her.

63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFEjoawFsP

He sat beside her.

“Garah, right? I looked you up. You’re not in any photos either.”

She frowned.

“I am. Maybe you didn’t check properly.

“No. You’re not.”

She saw a group photo from the classroom.

Everyone was there—except her.
