Chapter 6 - Chapter 5 : the fifth soul

Tina and Aarav disappear after exploring the mirror room again. Riya is now alone. She confronts Ms. Vaidehi in the forest. The teacher admits she never left. Her spirit was trapped, and every 50 years, she must feed the Hollow. "You were the clever one, Riya. But you still came." Riya runs, and Ms. Vaidehi begins to shift form-her eyes empty, face stretched, voice echoing unnaturally Riya jumps off the cliff into the fog-her scream swallowed by the Hollow.
