🕳️ Scene 1: Trapped in the Dark
The secret door slammed.
Amara was trapped — again.
She pounded on the wall.
“Help! Jason?! Somebody!!”
Nothing. Just the echo of her voice bouncing off the cold stone.
Then the music box clicked again. Slowly.
🎵 "Mama’s gonna buy you a diamond ring..." 🎵
But this time… it played backward.
Her flashlight flickered.
And then—
a mirror on the opposite wall lit up from the inside.
She saw herself.
No… not herself.
The reflection was smiling. Calm. Peaceful.
> “You don’t remember me,” it whispered.
“But I never left.”
Amara stepped back.
“Who are you?!”
> “I’m the part of you he erased.”

🧠 Scene 2: Fragments
Suddenly—flashbacks.
But not like dreams.
More like... mind fractures.
A girl hiding under a bed while footsteps echoed.
A scream… a door slamming shut.
Jason’s voice: “She’s gone now. You’re safe with me.”
Blood.
A girl crying.
> “I want my twin back…”
Amara fell to her knees.
Her mind spun.
“Am I Amara?” she whispered. “Or... am I Maya?”
The mirror whispered:
> "You're both. And neither. You only remember what he LET you remember."

🕵️♀️ Scene 3: Rena Breaks the Law
Detective Rena stared at the mansion gate.
No response. Again.
“This guy’s playing mind games,” she muttered.
She checked her watch. Midnight.
Then she pulled out a small crowbar from her trunk.
Mark, her partner, shook his head. “You’re crazy.”
“I’m right,” she replied. “And that woman’s life depends on it.”
She broke the lock.

🩸 Scene 4: The Basement Truth
Back inside the secret room, Amara found a trap door in the floorboards.
It was nailed shut — but she pried it open with part of a broken chair.
Dust and decay filled her nose.
She climbed down slowly… heart pounding.
Then she saw it.
A small wooden crib.
A pink stuffed bunny.
And beside it, on the ground…
A photo.
Jason, smiling… holding a baby girl.
On the back was written:
> “Elsie – 3 months.”
Tears welled up in Amara’s eyes.
But then she saw the other photo.
A woman.
Her.
Tied to a chair. Eyes wide in terror. Bruised.
And Jason behind her — smiling.
> It wasn’t a memory. It was a real photo.

🧃 Scene 5: Jason’s Tea
Meanwhile, upstairs, Jason stood outside the secret room door, holding a teacup.
He whispered softly.
> “You were doing so well, sweetheart.”
“But you just couldn’t leave the past buried, could you?”
He slid the teacup under the door through a small vent.
Inside, Amara saw it appear… on the ground in front of her.
Just like in the blue diary.
> “He brings me tea. But it tastes funny.”
Amara kicked it away.

🔥 Scene 6: The Reversal
Amara screamed at the mirror:
> “I don’t care who I was. I just want to get out!”
The mirror glitched — a flicker of static.
Then, in her own voice, the mirror said:
> “He used hypnosis. Trauma bonding. You loved him. You hated him. That’s why you forgot. You broke."
Suddenly—bang! The door burst open.
Detective Rena stood in the doorway.
Gun drawn. “Step away from her, Jason.”
Jason turned slowly, clapping.
“I was wondering when the detective would show.”
“You’re under arrest.”
Jason smiled eerily. “No. I’m not.”
He pressed something in his pocket.
Boom.
Smoke. Sparks. Screams.
Rena fired—
Jason disappeared down the basement hallway.
Amara collapsed into Rena’s arms.

🎭 Final Twist: One Last Memory
As Rena pulled Amara to safety, she whispered:
> “It’s over. You’re safe.”
But Amara clutched her tightly, crying.
“No. It’s not over. I just remembered something…”
Rena looked at her. “What is it?”
Amara shook. Her voice barely audible:
> “I wasn’t the victim at first… I helped him.”
“I helped Jason bring my twin here.”
“And then I forgot everything.”
Rena stared in horror.
“Amara… or Maya… who are you?”
