After preschool pickup, I noticed she wore unfamiliar clothes and mentioned a \u201challway girl\u201d who\u2019d swapped with her. The teacher, Ms. Leena, was confused too, especially when we discovered a mysterious velvet purse in her cubby with a note: <em data-start=\"349\" data-end=\"398\">\u201cShe wanted to be princess today. I consented.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"400\" data-end=\"815\">Strange notes kept appearing, and the mysterious \u201challway girl\u201d always seemed to vanish when spotted. When I mentioned the name Lydia, Ms. Leena went pale. Years ago, a girl named Lydia had tragically choked on gum at the school. That night, my niece whispered, \u201cShe says it\u2019s my turn forever now.\u201d I promised to protect her and watched the next day as another girl entered the school\u2019s long-abandoned storage room.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"817\" data-end=\"1160\">Inside the dusty space, I found a little girl\u2014Lydia\u2014sorting through forgotten clothes and toys. She tearfully explained she just wanted to be remembered. With calm words, I helped her let go, and she vanished. We donated the items and placed a kind note in the coral dress. The strange occurrences stopped. My niece returned to her happy self.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1162\" data-end=\"1470\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\">Weeks later, the school began renovations and discovered Lydia\u2019s old belongings.
