Neo Mojaki -The Silent Storm

They thought the revolution ended with the Council.

They were wrong.

It just **changed mirrors**.

---

### 07:00 — Faultlines

Stormfront had grown too fast.

The masks hid more than names — they hid motives.

Whispers circled the academy:

- "Lucid knew this would happen."

- "Neo planned this chaos from the start."

- "Stormfront... has a second layer."

Some members started removing their masks.

Others put on new ones — made of chrome, not glass.

---

### 09:30 — Lucid's Analysis Room

Lucid's fingers hovered over dozens of floating Echo panels.

Each one displayed a different masked member... until two faces flickered through.

> **Riko.**

> **And a new unknown girl — not in the registry.**

Lucid's eyes narrowed.

> "The rebellion is rebelling."

> "Stormfront has splintered."

She closed the panels.

And activated a file labeled:

> **"Protocol: Silent Mirror"**

---

### 12:00 — Riko's Strike

A message was delivered campus-wide.

Not digitally — handwritten, delivered door to door.

It read:

> *"Stormfront is a lie.*

> *Neo warned us.*

> *The true mirror doesn't reflect. It absorbs."*

> *— The Echo Reversal Group*

Then the power cut.

And the academy went dark for 36 seconds.

When it returned, every Stormfront mural had been overwritten with one phrase:

> **"The storm is inside you."**

---

### 15:45 — The Unknown Girl

She walked straight into the Council's inner chamber.

No guards stopped her.

No one dared.

She placed a crystal shard on the table and said:

> "You broke Neo once."

> "Now watch what breaks you."

Before anyone could react, she was gone.

And every Echo-feed across Virelia began to replay...

**Neo's first memory.**

Not a speech.

Not a moment of strength.

A *crying voice in the dark*.

Begging.

Alone.

Unseen.

> "Let me out... I didn't choose this... I didn't ask to remember..."

Then the screen cut to black.

---

### 22:00 — Marei's Final Note

She stood on the rooftop, watching the wind twist flags torn from both Stormfront and Council.

She whispered:

> "Neo wasn't the storm."

> "He was the silence before it."

---

*End of Chapter 39.*
