I went to my vanity and took out a burner SIM card. It was wrapped in a note containing a single sentence: "The Neptune, 3 PM tomorrow, Pier 2. A big gift." I walked to the window and passed the note to the man. "Give this to your boss," I whispered. He took it and was gone, melting into the shadows of the garden. I returned to the vanity and looked at my reflection. Sophia. Damien. The game is over. My game has just begun.

"What's wrong, what happened?" "Nothing's wrong." Kaelin started laughing, sounded hysterical even to her. "His eyes opened. They actually fucking OPENED." "What?" Rhea was across the room. "When? Show me." "I can't show you they're CLOSED now." Kaelin was still holding his face. "But they were open I SAW it." Elira came in carrying her bag, out of breath. "Someone said emergency?"

She will no longer see only darkness in her life. "Are you ready?" Olivia nodded enthusiastically while holding back the thumping that was getting crazier in her heart. The sound of the scissors slowly tearing the bandage covering her eyes sounded like the sound of a party trumpet that felt so exhilarating to her. Soon she would see the world. Soon she would see her angel. "Well, open your eyes slowly." Olivia started blinking her eyes slowly and began to adjust to the light that seemed dazzling to her new eyes. “Olivia...”

But I don’t remember having curtains in my unit. I closed my eyes again and stayed there for a while until I felt a terrible pain that seemed to pierce through my skull. This is bad. Am I back to Day 1? Well, shit.

THURSDAY LEYA'S P.O.V. I never slept with my eyes closed; it wasn't actually sleep kind of like a temporary shutdown of my body but not my mind so I woke up with my eyes open.
