“Host, they owe you a debt. It is time they paid it back.” Then its body slowly turned transparent. “Memory extraction complete. “Memory Broadcast Protocol activated.” Before I could tighten my fingers around its tiny paw, the last of its energy burned out. It dissolved into a wisp of pale smoke and vanished without a trace. With everything it had left, the System began broadcasting my memories. The screen in the morgue went black. When it lit up again, it was playing a memory from the year I turned ten. Back then, I had been hiding behind a door.

"Lock you in? What are you talking about? You just need time to think. I did the same thing with your sister when she acted up. Now go!" "No…" "Dad, you can't…!" Judy rushed over. "You want to start, too? None of you ever make things easy for me!" He shoved Judy aside with one hand and pushed me forward with the other. "Dad…" I stumbled inside, my shoulder hitting a stack of boxes. The door slammed shut behind me, and the lock clicked. Darkness swallowed everything. "No… Don't lock it!" Everything fell away. All that was left were flashes of fear. The whip with barbs. The clamps biting into skin. Men laughing as they closed in, hands already at their belts.

Shawn pressed, his voice unnervingly calm, though a faint urgency flickered in his eyes. The doctor adjusted his glasses and replied, "In that case, it's even harder to say. If the memory remains locked away without guidance or treatment, it’s extremely difficult to unlock, especially when left untreated for a long time. There are many such cases in the medical field, particularly among those who either can't afford or are unwilling to seek treatment." After hearing the doctor's words, Shawn's brow furrowed deeply, his expression a complex mix of thoughts as he gazed at the unconscious Dean.

"No, after. About six months ago. I thought maybe it could help me recover some of the lost time." Gayle squeezed my hand. "And?" "It didn't work. Or at least, that's what I thought. But now that I'm here... I'm not so sure." "What do you mean?" I hesitated, unsure how to explain the feeling that had been building inside me. "It's like… the hypnotherapy didn't bring back my memories, but it unlocked something else. A sensitivity, maybe. A connection to this place that I can't explain." I looked up at Gayle, searching for understanding in her eyes. "Maybe the reason those memories are locked away is because they're better left undisturbed. Some doors you just shouldn't open, you know?"

They hissed it, chewed it, twisted it into five syllables and a broken sob. “She should not remember,” said one tongue in a child’s voice. “She should have burned out like the rest,” whispered another, old and dry. “She dreams of fire that speaks,” moaned a third. Irsi turned toward the pillar behind her—where the faces of the Unremembered were still trapped in frost. She pressed her palm to the ice. The pillar responded. The faces inside—frozen memories, stolen from victims of past battles—cracked open like porcelain. Mist and fragments of consciousness spilled into Irsi’s core.

I glanced at my father, trying to understand what was going on. “Under my control? But that’s my memory…you can’t just…” “You have a pending case of attempted murder. The culprit could still be somewhere around the pack, a threat to the rest of the pack. And your memory stands as the only key to finding out who it is,” *********

“Someone has tampered with your mind, or has been tampering with them for a long time. Your memories have been sealed, which explains your irritability and lack of control. You don’t even know the full truth of who you are.” The revelation made my stomach churn. “I don’t know any witch,” I said, my voice tight. “You wouldn’t,” she replied. “Not if they’ve erased themselves from your mind.” I ran a hand through my hair, trying to make sense of her words. “Can you unlock them?” She smirked faintly, as if amused by the question. “I could. But it would come at a price.” “What price?” “You’d have to die for three months,” she said matter-of-factly. “While your body lies dormant, I’d inhabit it, u

“I want you to shoot me so I fall into the sea, Anna.” I flinched, my heart pounding violently. A chill raced up my spine at how calm and flat his voice was. “You’re insane,” I hissed, shaking my head. “I won’t do it.” “I trust you, Anna. You can do it.” “Based on what? Madness?” Alexei explained that he wished to unlock his sealed memories. He had read that another trauma, or a powerful trigger, could sometimes bring memories back. He had tried many methods, but never something this extreme.

My parents shrank under the stares, their proud expression fading into stiff, pale faces. Suddenly, Audrey's eyes widened, as if she'd just thought of a way out. She jabbed her finger at the screen, shouting, "That woman in the video isn't me! "I have a twin sister—her name's Aurora. She's the one in that footage!"
