Days melted into weeks...

Weeks seamlessly transitioned into months...

Days marked by a growing void in the connection between Pearl and Light. The once vibrant threads of their relationship faded into a haunting silence, leaving an unspoken ache.

Then, unexpectedly, on a quiet day, a wooden box arrived at Pearl's doorstep. Intrigued yet cautious, she carefully opened it to unveil its contents.

Inside the box, nestled were photos and videos capturing Light and Charito's intimate moments. As Pearl sifted through the contents, each image and video felt like a piercing revelation, unraveling a narrative she hadn't fully comprehended.

The scenes portrayed shared laughter, stolen glances, embraces, and intimate moments of lovemaking that groans and moans reached beyond cloud nine that once belonged exclusively to Pearl and Light. 

Pearl's initial curiosity turned into a wave of mixed emotions – a cocktail of betrayal, heartache, and a raw sense of vulnerability. The visual evidence before her eyes unveiled a truth that words alone couldn't convey.

Pearl (whispering): "How could he?"

The images and videos etched a painful reality, solidifying the fractures in their relationship. As the visual narrative unfolded, Pearl grappled with the enormity of what had transpired, and the box became a vessel of not only memories but also a testament to the irreversible changes that had taken place.

Pearl (teary-eyed): "I never thought it would come to this."

The box, once a source of potential reconnection, now stood as a poignant reminder of the irreversible path their relationship had taken. The weight of the visuals became a burden, forcing Pearl to confront the harsh truth and prompting her to contemplate the difficult decisions that lay ahead.

Faced with the overwhelming weight of the truth and burdened by the emotional turmoil, Pearl made a courageous decision. She resolved to confide in the Lost Command Boys, Light's close-knit friends, and expose the contents of the box containing the photos and videos capturing Light and Charito's intimate moments.

Summoning her strength, Pearl reached out to the LC Boys, knowing that transparency and honesty were crucial in navigating the complexities of the situation. The decision to share the painful reality with Light's friends was driven by a desire for understanding, support, and perhaps a collective perspective that could help her make sense of the shattered fragments of her relationship.

Pearl (voice quivering): "Guys, I need to talk to you. It's about Light, and I have something to show you."

As the LC Boys gathered, their expressions shifted from curiosity to concern, sensing the gravity of Pearl's revelation. The box, now a vessel of truth, stood between them, waiting to unveil a narrative that would reshape their understanding of Light's actions and the profound impact it had on Pearl.

Pearl (teary-eyed): "I discovered something that I believe you all should see. It's painful, but I can't carry this burden alone."

With those words, Pearl began to unfold the layers of her heartbreak, trusting the LC Boys with the intimate details that lay within the box. In doing so, she sought not only solace but also a collective strength that could help her navigate the challenging road ahead.

Amboy, Towers, Corex, Tarsier, Prof, Intsik, Sunog, Kulog, Bagyo, Putik, Hitman, and F*Boy, Light's closest friends, were visibly stunned as Pearl unveiled the contents of the box. The atmosphere in the room shifted from casual concern to a tense stillness, each of them realizing that something profoundly impactful was about to be revealed.
