A Few Weeks Later
dead person
Charlotte is at home with her grandmother. After dinner, they sit together in the living room.
grandmother
(gently) "Charlotte, I know you’ve been troubled by the book. Sometimes, it's best to let certain things rest."
Charlotte Carmine
(hesitant) "But the book feels like it’s connected to something important."
grandmother
(softly) "Not everything needs to be uncovered. Some stories are meant to be left in the past."
Charlotte Carmine
(sighs) "I suppose you’re right. Maybe I should just focus on the present."
grandmother
(smiling) "That’s a wise choice. Let the past be what it is."
dead person
Charlotte nods, feeling a sense of relief but also lingering curiosity. She decides to put the book aside and focus on moving forward.

Charlotte wakes abruptly, her heart pounding. She feels the cool metal of the necklace against her skin. In her drowsy state, her hand moves to touch the necklace, seeking comfort in its familiarity.

Flashback Scene:
dead person
Charlotte finds herself at the tranquil pond she visited with her friends. The moonlight dances on the water, casting a serene glow. Instead of her friends, George Zheng appears, walking towards her with a bouquet of lilies.
George Zheng
(in a formal tone) "Catherine, these are for you."
dead person
Charlotte, fully immersed in Catherine’s perspective, feels as if she’s unable to move or control her actions. She accepts the lilies, her hands trembling slightly. George's voice is gentle yet commanding.
George Zheng
(earnestly) "I know our marriage was arranged, but I want you to know that I will cherish you as if you were a goddess. Everything I have, everything I am, now belongs to you."
dead person
Charlotte experiences the depth of Catherine's emotions—her confusion, her sense of being trapped in a fate she didn’t choose, and the weight of George’s promises. Catherine's feelings of being both honored and constrained flood over Charlotte.
George Zheng
(softly) "You deserve everything, and I promise to make our life together as wonderful as it can be."

The scene fades, leaving Charlotte feeling Catherine’s conflicted emotions deeply.

her phone buzzes with a notification

She checks the notification and sees a post from Aurora on social media. The post is a group photo from their recent trip. Charlotte notices that Aurora is not in the picture, but the caption reads:

Aurora’s Post: “Great time with everyone! we Missed you, Charlotte. Hope you’re doing well. 😊”
dead person
Charlotte feels a pang of discomfort as she looks at the smiling faces in the photo, realizing how Aurora is subtly making a point about her absence.
Charlotte Carmine
(to herself) "Why is she doing this?"
dead person
Charlotte glances at her phone and notices it’s already 5 a.m. She feels restless and decides that a walk outside might help clear her mind.
Charlotte Carmine
(sighing) "I might as well get some fresh air."
dead person
She quietly gets out of bed, puts on a jacket, and heads outside. The early morning air is crisp and cool, offering a stark contrast to the stuffy feeling of her room. As she walks through the quiet streets, she reflects on the recent events and her feelings about the group, Aurora, and the book.
Charlotte Carmine
(to herself) "I need to figure out what’s really important to me. Maybe some fresh air will help me think clearly."
dead person
The calm of the early morning provides a moment of solitude for Charlotte. The stillness of the world around her helps her process her thoughts and emotions more clearly.
