Potion Shop for the Broken-Hearted
Episode 3
After consuming the potion, he had a dream.
There stood Aria...beautiful, cruel, just as he remembered.
Aria
You came back (smiling)
But this time, he was different.
Stranger
You never loved me. You loved being worshipped.
Aria
And you let me (smirks)
Between them is a glowing red thread.
And with trembling hands, he cut it.
She screamed—not in pain, but in fear. Not of him.....of losing her power.
But for the first time…his soul was quiet.
He came back to the shop. This time, lighter. Brighter.
Stranger
Thank you. Here’s your gold. And this.
[He places a crystal on the counter]
Crystal echoing, "I never needed you. But you made me feel important."
Elira
*Froze at the voice*
That voice...it wasn’t just Aria.
It reminded her of someone else.
Cold. Proud. Always demanding more.
That night, Elira drank the potion herself. And cut a thread she didn’t even know was still knotted tight.
