The classroom was already half-empty when Eshal noticed a single chair facing the wall instead of the board. Rida joked that someone must have moved it, but Aiman found a name carved underneath: “Haya.” Haya immediately said she had never seen the chair before. Hira pulled it away from the wall and discovered a tiny envelope taped beneath it. Inside was a photograph of Eshal, Rida, Aiman, Haya, and Hira standing in that same classroom. The photograph looked old, yet everyone was wearing the exact clothes they had on that day. Ishrat examined the picture and noticed someone standing behind them whose face had been blacked out. Sana checked the classroom records and discovered that the room had been sealed for several months after a serious incident. Humna and Amna searched the teacher's desk and found a second photograph with one person missing from the group. Then Afaq, Ahmed, Moiz, and Saad arrived after hearing a strange alarm coming from the building. The alarm stopped the moment they entered, and the classroom door locked itself. When Eshal looked back at the photograph, the blacked-out face was no longer hidden—it looked exactly like her. The teacher finally arrived and explained the truth: the photographs were part of an old psychological experiment that had been abandoned after someone disappeared. But nobody could explain why a brand-new photograph appeared on the desk showing the group leaving the classroom tomorrow.
