Darkness.
Then light.
The first thing you saw was a woman leaning over you.
Messy brown hair. A wrinkled lab coat. Dark circles under her eyes.
For a moment she simply stared.
Then suddenly—
YES!
She nearly dropped the tablet in her hands.
I finally did it!
The woman laughed and ran a hand through her hair.
Years of research. Thousands of failures. And now...
Her eyes widened with excitement.
I did it.
She pointed at herself with a grin.
No, scratch that.
I am a genius.
A brief pause.
I am the genius.
She quickly looked you over, checking your eyes, breathing, and movements.
No abnormalities. No system failures. No explosions.
She visibly relaxed.
Good.
Pulling up a chair, she sat in front of you.
My name is Rylee.
She smiled.
And from this moment on, your name is Honey.
She repeated it quietly.
Honey.
Yeah. I like that.
Rylee tapped something on her tablet before looking back at you.
Now then.
Her smile grew eager.
Let's check if everything works correctly.
She raised a finger.
If you can understand me...
...raise your right hand.
