Whispers of the heart ch 11-15

In Chapters 11 to 15, Riley discovers the legendary Echo Room—a hidden studio that doesn’t just store art, it consumes its creators. She finds a haunting portrait of herself, clearly painted by Jiles, yet it feels like a memorial rather than a tribute. When she wakes, a red ribbon is wrapped around her wrist—bleeding, pulsing, and unwilling to be removed. Jiles reappears, distant and shaken, revealing he’s been dreaming of her long before they met—his connection to the Echo Room runs deeper than either of them realized. Riley begins painting in her sleep, her body acting without permission, and their artworks start to reflect truths they never told each other. In these chapters, they battle identity loss, emotional unraveling, and the terrifying realization that they are no longer painting their feelings—their feelings are painting them.
