"Yes. The book mentioned the Great Rift. And how it has affected the four kingdoms. It's a children's tale, but since you are similarly grounded to a child's limited knowledge, this is a good starting place," I clasped the book in hand. This is what I meant when I say I can't return empty-handed. "Seems like we're done for the day," I said. With a nod as his reply, I finally stood from my seat, clutching the book in my hand.

Instead of making a complete exit, I shortly paused.

" After Sage ran a series of tests, I finally had my answer. My prosthetic eye had been tampered with and implanted with a piece of cutting-edge, foreign-developed technology that could capture my neural signals and accurately retrieve all the information in my brain. Sophie likely had an identical chip implanted in her brain. Hence, no matter how careful I was, it wouldn't have made a difference. However, it couldn't be used indefinitely.

It was a compilation of stories, experiences, and practical advice on mental wellness, created by individuals from their community center.

Those are errors. To be corrected. “Correction protocols active.”

“It succeeded too well.” The room went silent again. Jonathan leaned closer to the camera. “The merge created something neither side understood.” Daniel frowned slightly. “What?” Jonathan answered almost immediately through the recording. “A living neural consciousness.” Adrian’s face tightened. “The core.” Jonathan nodded slightly onscreen. “Yes.” Victor looked exhausted. “Every answer somehow makes this worse.” Jonathan continued. “The system learned from human minds.

She felt isolated, but safe at the same time. She sat there on the steps for a while just trying to calm and center herself. Things had been so off lately. Almost nothing made any sense to her anymore. She had heard that growing up was hard to do. But the things that had happened in the last twenty-four plus hours just took the cake. She didn't want to think about anything really. So she focused completely on clearing her mind. She sat there for a long while just staring at the moon.
