Golden sunlight streams through the windows of Equestria High, casting long shadows across the hall where Twilight is chatting with Fluttershy. For a moment, everything is serene—until Twilight stops mid-sentence, her eyes darting across the corridor. "Wait... where's Applejack?" she whispers, a seed of panic taking root. Fluttershy's gentle smile vanishes, replaced by a look of mounting dread. "She hasn't shown up for days," she murmurs, the memory of Rarity's frantic warnings echoing in her mind. The vibrant energy of the school suddenly feels cold, swallowed by an ominous, suffocating silence.
