Here is Episode 1:
*Episode 1: "Echoes of the Past"*
Rumi lay in bed, her eyes fluttering closed as she drifted off to sleep. The dim moonlight streaming through the window cast eerie shadows on the walls, making her feel like she was being watched.
As she slipped deeper into sleep, Rumi found herself transported back to the moment when Jinu gave up his soul at the final battle between the HUNTR/X and Gwi-ma.
Jinu stood before her, his eyes burning with determination. Rumi tried to reach out, but her arms felt heavy, as if rooted to the spot.
"I wanted to set you free," Rumi whispered, her voice barely audible.
Jinu's eyes locked onto hers, filled with a deep sadness. "You did," he replied, his voice soft. "You gave me my soul back. And now... I give it to you."
Rumi's eyes snapped open, and she sat up with a gasp. Her heart racing, she looked around the darkened room, trying to shake off the vivid dream.
But the memory lingered, refusing to be shaken.
She threw off the covers and got out of bed, pacing around the room to try and clear her head.
As she paced, Rumi's mind wandered back to the events leading up to Jinu's sacrifice.
She remembered the way he had smiled at her, the way his eyes had crinkled at the corners.
She remembered the way he had held her hand, the way his touch had made her feel alive.
Rumi's eyes stung with tears as she thought about Jinu.
She missed him so much, it felt like a physical ache in her chest though she hadn't profess her feelings to him which she regrets now (poor girl)
She wondered if she would ever see him again, or if he was truly gone.
Just then, there was a knock at the door.
"Rumi, are you okay?" It was Mira, her voice laced with concern.
Rumi took a deep breath, trying to calm her racing heart.
"Yeah, I'm fine," she replied, trying to sound convincing.
But as she opened the door to let Mira in, Rumi couldn't shake off the feeling that Jinu's spirit was still with her, watching over her.
Mira's eyes sparkled with curiosity. "What's going on, Rumi? You look like you've seen a ghost."
Rumi hesitated, unsure of how to share her experience.
But before she could say anything, Zoey burst into the room, her phone in hand.
"Guys, have you seen this?" Zoey asked, her voice trembling with excitement.
Rumi and Mira exchanged a curious glance.
What was going on?
Zoey held out her phone, displaying a cryptic message on the screen.
_Meet me at the old warehouse at midnight. Come alone_
Rumi's heart skipped a beat.
Who could be sending Zoey mysterious messages?
Mira's eyes sparkled with intrigue.
"This sounds like a mystery waiting to be solved."
But Rumi hesitated.
Something didn't feel right.
Just then, Bobby burst into the room, a look of urgency on his face.
"Girls, we need to talk."
"What's going on, Bobby?" Mira asked, feeling a sense of trepidation.
Rumi's eyes widen as she reads the message. "'Meet me at the old warehouse at midnight. Come alone.'" She looks up, concerned. "Guys, I just got the same message as Zoey."
