Scene 1: SMK Keningau II – Frozen Echoes
A sudden cold snap hits Keningau—students see frost forming on windows despite the tropical heat. Nel's palm-gear from Eryndor ticks once… and freezes.
Chelestar (touching it):
> "It's calling to something."
The sky darkens. A mirror appears midair, reflecting not reality, but alternate versions of Nel, Chelestar, and Azryael—dark, broken, or corrupted.
Azryael:
> "She's arrived. Velcyra… the Icebound Seer."

Scene 2: The Mirror Gate – Portal to Glaciara
They step through the sky-mirror and emerge in Glaciara, a frozen wasteland of cracked ice temples and suspended time. The air is silent, but heavy with judgment.
On a frozen dais sits Velcyra, silver-haired, blindfolded, hands folded like a statue.
Velcyra (monotone):
> "Truth hurts. Let me show you yours."
---
Scene 3: Trial of Reflection
Each is trapped in a Mirror Trial—not of illusion, but brutal emotional honesty.
Nel sees himself if he had grown up unloved, turning cold and cruel—a god of wrath instead of hope.
Chelestar sees a version of herself who burned her entire fox clan to gain more tails.
Azryael sees a world where she obeyed the Architect—and destroyed Earth to "cleanse it."
Velcyra (echoing):
> "Judgment is not punishment. It is truth unhidden."

Scene 4: Reclaiming Their Truths
Nel breaks the ice first—not through power, but by hugging his dark self.
Nel:
> "You are me—but I choose better."
Chelestar and Azryael do the same, overcoming their fears not by denial, but by accepting their potential to fail—and striving anyway.

Scene 5: The Icebound Seer's Response
Velcyra removes her blindfold—revealing mirror eyes that reflect every timeline.
Velcyra (softly):
> "You have passed… but I saw something deeper in you, Nel. Something buried even Eryndor missed."
She touches his forehead. A frozen mark appears: "Origin: Unknown."
Before she vanishes, she leaves behind a shard of mirror.
Velcyra:
> "If it shatters, so will your world."
---
Final Scene: Back at School – A Quiet Moment
Nel stares at his palm—gear frozen. Mirror shard glowing.
Chelestar:
> "We're running out of siblings…"
Azryael:
> "No. We're getting closer to the truth."
In the distance, a dark rain begins to fall, each drop glowing like oil and blood.
Next sibling... comes from the Abyss.
