Reincarnation
Ella's Bedroom, Nighttime
Ella Eloine
Ella: [Thinking] Why… why am I here? Wasn’t I… dead? The crash… the betrayal… Leondel and Jhenzel…
Ella: [Eyes widen, whispering] This is the night he accused me. The night it all fell apart.
Ella grips the edge of the bed, trembling but resolute.
Ella Eloine
Ella: Not this time. I’m not letting them ruin me again.
Ella hurriedly packs a suitcase, throwing clothes inside.
Ella Eloine
Ella: I won’t wait for his lies. No more pleading. No more pain.
The sound of the front door opening echoes through the house.

Leondel: [From downstairs] Ella, we need to talk.
Ella Eloine
Ella: [Muttering to herself] Not again. I’m leaving now.
She zips up her suitcase and sneaks out the back door, heart racing.
In the dark alley behind her house, Ella bumps into a man—a tall, sharp-dressed stranger flanked by two intimidating bodyguards.
Herold banguish
Herold: [Smirking] Well, well. What’s a lady like you doing out here in the dead of night?
Ella Eloine
Ella: [Startled, backing away] I… I didn’t mean to—
Herold banguish
Herold: Relax. I’m not here to hurt you. [Eyes her suitcase] Running from someone, are we?
Ella Eloine
Ella: [Hesitant] That’s none of your business.
The bodyguards exchange glances, sensing the tension.
Herold banguish
Herold: [Leaning in slightly] You don’t look like someone who wants to go back. If you need a way out, I can provide it… for a price.
Ella Eloine
Ella: [Glaring] I don’t need your help
Herold banguish
Herold: [Laughs softly] Feisty. I like that. But you’re not safe, are you? If you think I’m dangerous, you should worry more about what’s behind you.
Ella turns to see a shadow in the distance—Leondel’s figure approaching.

Leondel: [Calling out] Ella! What are you doing out here?
Ella Eloine
Ella: [Whispering to herself] No. Not again.
Herold banguish
Herold: [Steps in front of her, his tone colder now] Is that him? The one you’re running from?
Ella Eloine
Ella: [Panicked] Please, don’t get involved
Herold banguish
Herold: [Interrupting] Too late. You’re under my protection now.
Herold signals his bodyguards, who step forward with imposing stances.
Herold banguish
Herold: [To Ella] You’ve got two choices: go back to him, or come with me. But be warned, I don’t offer sanctuary for free.
Ella looks between the approaching Leondel and Herold, weighing her options
Ella grabs Herold’s hand, her voice firm despite her fear.
Ella Eloine
Ella: Take me with you
Herold banguish
Herold: [Smirking] Brave choice. You’ll fit right in.
The group disappears into the night, leaving Leondel stunned and powerless in the alley.
