Baxter:

I opened my eyes to find a man with glasses leaning over my bed.

My first instinct was to get defensive and shove the monster away, but then I

realized it was just some four-eyed freak staring at me.

I didn’t recognize him.

Then I took in the room around me.

I could tell it was a hospital room, but I had no idea where I was.

About half an hour later, another doctor came in and explained that I had been in a coma and that they had been trying to wake me up.

The four-eyed freak eventually introduced himself as Daniel.

He explained that he worked as an assistant to a researcher who had been treating

me.

Apparently, she was the one who created the medicine that finally woke me up.

And now she was sitting right beside me.

There was something strangely familiar about her.

It felt like I had seen her before, known her before even, but no matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t place her.

Why couldn’t I remember her face?

Why couldn’t I remember my own name?

Then she introduced herself as Livia.

A not completely unfamiliar name.

Yet, I didn’t recognize her at all, but something still felt off.

When she asked me what my name was, I froze.

I didn’t know.

I just kept staring at her.

“Oh!! you don’t remember your name?” she asked carefully.

The problem was the way she kept looking into my eyes like she was trying to search for something inside me.

It was a little uncomfortable.

But I guessed that was normal for a nurse, doctor, researcher, or whatever she was.

Maybe that was why she studied me so intensely, like she didn’t want to miss a single detail.

“No, I don’t. I—I don’t know,” I grunted.

Panic slammed into me.

This was insane.

How the hell did I not even know my own name?

“Wait. It’s okay. Calm down. Maybe you just woke up. It’s too early to decide anything.”

She tried to soothe me while my panic spiraled out of control.

I pushed myself up, but she placed a hand on my bicep.

Her touch was warm.

She looked at me for a moment before quickly pulling her hand away and glancing aside shyly.

Why the fuck was she blushing so much?

“You need to calm down, okay? Please. Everything’s going to be fine. I promise.”

She reached for a glass and handed me some medicine.

I swallowed it reluctantly. Right now, rest sounded better than anything else.

Maybe she was right.

Maybe when I woke up, I would remember everything.

I fell asleep again for what felt like a few minutes, but when I woke up, hours had passed.

The same woman was still there with Daniel.

They asked me the same questions again, and I still couldn’t remember anything.

It felt like I had someone waiting for me.

A family.

Someone counting on me to come back.

But who were they?

And why couldn’t I remember any of them?

“Where did you find me?” I asked Livia, trying to figure out how the hell I had ended up in the hospital.

Maybe if I went back far enough, something would come back to me.

She exchanged a look with Daniel, and in that moment, I knew she didn’t want to tell me the truth.

Whatever she was about to say was either a lie or a carefully hidden version of it.

“You were in an accident. That’s how you were brought here,” she replied smoothly.

The confidence in her voice only convinced me she was lying.

“But then how do I find my family?” I asked, glancing at Daniel as he paced around the room anxiously.

“Can’t you put something on the

news or something? Like-annoueet Maybe somebody know un

looking for my familyt

that I’m

The questions kept spilling out before I could stop them.

I didn’t know what this feeling inside me was, but it kept building stronger and stronger.

I needed to be somewhere else.

I just didn’t know where.

“We can’t do that. The president is currently in a coma, and people are already in a frenzy,” she explained though it sounded more like an

excuse.

Then she stopped talking altogether.

།

I didn’t understand what the president had to do with my situation, but I stayed quiet.

She was my doctor. Maybe she knew something I didn’t.

“So what are we going to do with him? We can’t just leave him in the lab,” Daniel

said.

I noticed Livia twisting her fingers together nervously.

She looked like she was still thinking when Daniel suddenly snapped his fingers.

“I’ll take him to my house.”

The moment he said that, Livia’s smile vanished.

Maybe I was paying too much attention to them, but I needed to understand the people around me.

Right now, they were all I had.

I had no memory.

No recollection of my past life.

And because of that, I didn’t know whether I could trust the people standing in front

of me.

“Youhat might actually be a

good idea. But please take care of

him, Livia murmured. murmured softly in

agreement

I didn’t know why, but every time I looked at her, I felt like I knew her.

Or maybe I was supposed to.
