ZU × ORI

Ori feels the past closing in. Zu hesitates outside his studio—until a fire escape, a figure, and a voice call her forward. As two lifetimes converge, the distance between them shrinks to a single breath. The story remembers.

After the hospital, Lauren opens a copy of Romeo and Juliet—but Zu brings her own truth. As memories resurface, Zu questions whether the past was fiction… or hers to begin with. One thing is clear: the story isn’t over.

Ori replays the gaze that shattered him. Zu wakes in a hospital, Verona flooding back. And across centuries, Romeo waits under a tree. Everything is coming together.

In Verona’s shadows, Tai steps into the House of Capulet. Juliet has returned—his uncle makes it clear: their wait is over. With Lucrezia at his side, he takes to the sky. The Capulet jet is bound for New York.

Zu leaves the High Line with Ori still on her lips. Then metal screams—glass flies—and she's ripped from Manhattan into another century. Destiny just took the wheel.
