Zu leaves the High Line with Ori still on her lips. Then metal screams—glass flies—and she's ripped from Manhattan into another century. Destiny just took the wheel.
Ori feels it through the screen—someone’s watching. Someone who knows him. Hermes arrives with holograms and hard truths, but Ori can’t stop obsessing over the white dress. And destiny is only minutes away.
At home, Zu tries to unwind, but her mind won’t settle. One name—Ori—keeps rising to the surface. An online search leads to a mysterious livestream and a moment so intense, it feels impossible. She shuts off the tablet, but something in her refuses to power down.
Zu’s instinct for Shakespeare lands her an unexpected role in The Lights, but something about Landon’s performance feels off. Meanwhile, an encounter with Ori’s past work—an eerily familiar white dress—triggers strange visions and an unsettling chill. The past is getting closer, whether Zu is ready or not.
At Trinity Rose, Zu’s sharp sense of smell gives her an edge—except when it overwhelms her. Between meeting new friends, discovering The Lights, and Professor Lauren analyzing her sketches, Zu starts to feel like she’s uncovering something bigger than just art.
16-year-old Zu sketches quietly in a New York City café, haunted by a face she’s never seen—and a feeling she can’t explain. As she reflects on her move from Hong Kong and the strange pull of her drawings, a story begins to surface—one about identity, memory, and the moment before everything changes.
