Desperate for answers, Elara sought the wisdom of a shrink, a fortune teller, and a priest. Each offered their interpretation, but none could quell the storm within her mind.
Every night for a month, she was haunted by the same vivid dream—a prophecy of a world engulfed in flames, with a voice whispering, "Remember who you are. "
It was her friend, Dr. Lyra, who worked at a local clinic, that recognized the truth. The dream was not a prophecy but a glitch—an error in Elara's neuronal circuit due to her partial brain replacement. Dr. Lyra, harboring ulterior motives, convinced Elara to check into a rehabilitation center for treatment. However, Elara soon discovered the deceit; Dr. Lyra intended to exploit her for personal gain. A confrontation ensued, escalating into a physical struggle that ended tragically with Dr. Lyra's accidental death. Tormented by guilt and seeking escape, Elara opted for a full brain replacement surgery, a procedure that promised to erase her memories. As dawn broke, Elara awoke in a sterile room, feeling a sense of renewal. Yet, deep within the recesses of her mind, a subtle error flickered—a remnant of the guilt she sought to leave behind.
