Angelina sat down and pulled the locket out of her pocket.
"Okay." She whispered. "The first step is opening it."
She struggled to open the locket. It didn't work.
"Oh, Chiro, what do I…" Angelina stopped midsentence. The locket had popped open on the word 'Chiro' and was now emitting a blue light,
The light soon cleared away to show an image of Chiro, who was smiling.
"Chiro?" Angelina mumbled, confused.
Chiro nodded.
"Can you… can you speak?" Angelina asked, amazed.
Her brother nodded again. "The locket allows you to speak with its previous owner simply by saying their name and wishing they were there. This was one of my biggest secrets. I loved speaking to Mother. It eased my grief over her. It's up to you whether to share the secret or not. The locket is yours now."
"Why'd you have to die?" Angelina burst into tears again. "You're my brother! I didn't want to lose you!"
Chiro frowned and crossed his arms. "You think I wanted it to happen? It wasn't my choice. I tried to fight back, but it backfired." He paused. "Is Skeleton King gone?"
Angelina was surprised by the question. "I don't know. We were more focused on you."
"Angelina?" Jinmay called.
"Got to go!" Angelina whispered. She shut the locket and Chiro's image disappeared.
Jinmay walked into the room.
"How's it going?" She asked. Her eyes were still red from earlier. "Have you figured it out yet?"
Angelina grinned.
"Yes. I have."
