Whispers of the Heart ch 21-25

In the final chapters, Riley and Jiles confront the full force of what they’ve unleashed—an entity born from their pain, love, and silence, now stepping out of the canvas with their faces and their wounds. As Gravemoor begins to unravel, the line between creation and creator dissolves. In Chapter 21, they finish the cursed painting with one final brushstroke, breaking the cycle, but not without cost. Chapter 22 brings quiet—Riley leaves a blank canvas in the Echo Room and finally chooses peace over pain. In Chapter 23, she and Jiles rebuild their connection, not through desperation, but through warmth. They kiss again—not to survive, but to begin. Chapter 24 sees them curating an exhibit of forgotten student works, titled The Museum of Us—a tribute to every scar turned into story. And in Chapter 25, Riley walks away from her past, her art, and the darkness with her heart still whispering, but finally, in her own voice.
