When the Storm Blooms
— tension thickened in air , rainy hues blur the edges of reality. Lightning dances behind window panes, and every line crackles with breathless anticipation.

[Scene — Hospital Room, Midnight | Mira’s POV]
(Faint echoes of beeping. Warmth in fingertips. Voices muffled, like underwater. She feels a hand—soft, trembling, familiar.)
Mira (mind stirring, thought-voice, weak):
“...Rihanna…?”
(A surge of light. Panels brighten subtly. Her eyes flutter open—slow, hesitant. Rihanna gasps, tears spilling instantly.)
Rihanna (choking on emotion):
“Mira...! Mira, you’re—! Oh,! god... i knew you’d come back...! I thought_ I thought I have lost you forever ... i _”
Mira [gently hugging her back, in weak voice, smiling]:
I'm not leaving you honey! Not until Iwe grow old and our hairs turn gray...
[Narration – gentle lines, curling like breath on glass]
Her body was weak, a shell long left uninhabited. But her soul—her soul surged like thunder rolling in the distance.

[Scene — Dahlia’s estate, war room]
(A heavy mahogany table. Maps scattered. The new crew has gathered. Rain lashes against the windows.)
Blossom (leaning forward, eyes cold):
“She’s awake. And word’s already spreading. The syndicates tied to Mira’s father—General Veys—are moving.”
D.U. (lighting a cigarette with a snap):
“We need to strike before they align. Take back Sector 9. Cut their supply. Starve the beast.”
Evenie (clutching her coat, quietly):
“But what about Mira? She’s not the same anymore. None of us are…”
Dahlia (finally speaks, her voice low, decisive):
“I won’t let Mira become a pawn again. This time… we control the board.”
[Narration – ink smearing like blood across silk]
The war that had been buried beneath love and silence… was surfacing. Dahlia’s world was shaking again.

[Scene – Hana’s room | soft candlelight, sound of thunder]
(Hana stares at her reflection, her hand brushing over a bullet scar that never fully healed. Evenie enters quietly.)
Evenie (gently):
“You okay?”
Hana (nods):
“I’m scared, Eve… scared that we’ll break again. That Mira might hate us.”
Evenie (hugs her tightly):
“We loved her. We never betrayed her. That’s the truth we’ll fight with.”
[Narration – calligraphic script dissolving into a petal caught in wind]
In the heart of every storm… is a wound that never healed.

[Scene – Mira sitting upright in hospital bed, her hand in Rihanna’s]
(She looks older now. Sharper. Her voice is soft but firm.)
Mira:
“Take me home, Rih. I’ve got things to settle… and people I need to see.”
Rihanna (soft smile, teary):
“Then let’s go write the ending we never got.”

[Final Panels – split screen]
Dahlia tightening her gloves, stepping out into the storm with Hana by her side.
Blossom watching from a distance, phone in hand.
Kea—Hana’s mother—meeting someone in a shadowed café, a mysterious folder in hand.
D.U. flipping a coin, whispering to himself:
“Time to pick sides.”

[Narration]
Love had returned…
But so had the storm.
