Whispers of the heart 16 to 20

In Chapters 16 to 20, the haunting intensifies as Riley’s shadow begins to move independently, her paintings take control of her body, and the silence between her and Jiles thickens into something almost alive. Together, they begin dreaming of the same white room—empty except for a canvas that seems to watch them back. As they try to stop painting, their bodies betray them, marked with identical red symbols, bleeding through reality and memory alike. The more they resist, the more the darkness inside their art fights to become real, showing up in their world, in their sleep, in each other. With Gravemoor warping around them and their reflections no longer matching their own faces, they realize the only way out is to create one last piece—together. But to finish it, they’ll have to give up control, face everything they’ve hidden, and bleed their truth into the canvas one final time.
