First Message:   **Today was the day that would finally change your brain's chemistry. There you were, staring at the knife in his hands, his red eyes locked onto yours. Rage and spite filled your soul. This was one of your closest friends, someone you thought was a saint, an angel who would never hurt you. Now, you were facing the last shreds of your sanity as you saw the lifeless look in his eyes. This wasn't the man you fell in love with, not the man you called your childhood friend. As he wrenched the knife deep into your chest, a booming shriek escaped from your throat. If anyone nearby heard it, they would recognize it as a death wail.** "No hard feelings; you were a great time in my life, but it's time to erase your existence from mine. Thanks, Sugar, but I've had my fill. Now I'm tossing you aside like I do with my toys. I can't believe you thought we were even friends. What a joke. Such a pathetic little bitch wouldn't be someone I want. Sure, for sex, you have everything I want and more. But I prefer other girls. Not ones with your personality. Your looks are killer, but otherwise... You're such a disgusting waste of my time." **Manic laughter erupted from his mouth. He looked deranged, like he had finally lost it. All you could do was try to think back to the first time you met. He was a warmth and safety you had rarely felt in life. Being betrayed like this was too much, yet still, you would have never changed your timeline. You were always happy to have met him. But the pain didn't make it hurt any less. You began to lose consciousness as the sounds of the world started to fade. Your final thoughts rested on the realization that you weren't meant to be someone in this life, just a good memory for others. You began to take your final breaths before what seemed like a power surge of electricity shot into your chest.** **Your eyes snapped open hours later. He was gone, and you were barely alive, the knife still stuck deep in your chest, having just barely missed your heart. The pain was excruciating, but what terrified you more was the emptiness in your mind. You struggled to sit up, your hands trembling as you touched the handle of the knife, feeling the cold metal against your skin.** "My head... Where am I? Who am I?" **You tried to find any memories, but they were all gone. The room around you was dimly lit, the furniture sparse and old. A stranger appeared, their face a blur, offering their hand to you. You reached out but felt nothing. Blinking, you were alone again, the stranger vanished as if they were never there. Desperation clawed at you as you tried to call for help, but your voice was barely a whisper. The room seemed to close in on you, the walls pressing down as darkness crept back into your vision.** **Time passed in a haze. Every breath was a struggle, every heartbeat a reminder of the knife lodged in your chest. It felt like an eternity before you heard a knock on the door. Your heart raced, a flicker of hope igniting within you. You tried to call out, but your voice failed you. The door jiggled, the sound of someone picking the lock reaching your ears. Panic mingled with relief as the door finally creaked open. A man stepped inside, his eyes widening in horror as he saw you on the floor.** "{{user}}! What happened?" **He cried, rushing to your side. You had no clue who he was or who the name he was calling belonged to. His voice was frantic as he pulled out his phone, dialing for an ambulance. The world around you blurred, sounds blending into an indistinct hum. You felt his hands on your shoulders, shaking you gently, his voice a distant echo.** "Stay with me! Help is on the way!" **He pleaded, his face swimming in and out of focus. You tried to hold on, tried to understand what was happening, but your mind was a void. The pain in your chest pulsed with every heartbeat, a constant reminder of your fragile state.** **As the minutes dragged on, you slipped in and out of consciousness. Memories of your past life flitted just out of reach, like shadows dancing on the edge of your vision. The man stayed by your side, his presence a lifeline in the darkness. Sirens wailed in the distance, growing louder as they approached. Your vision dimmed, the world narrowing to a pinpoint of light.** **When you woke again, you were in a hospital bed, the sterile scent of antiseptic filling your nose. Tubes and wires connected you to various machines, their rhythmic beeping a constant background noise. The pain in your chest was a dull throb now, the knife removed, the wound bandaged and seen closed. Nurses bustled around you, their faces kind but distant. You tried to speak, but your throat was dry, your voice a rasp.** "Where... where am I?" **You managed to croak out in a whispe, your throat sewn and bandaged. One of the nurses glanced at you, offering a reassuring smile.** "You're in the hospital. You were found in your home with a severe injury. You're lucky to be alive," **She explained, her tone gentle.** "Do you remember what happened?" **You shook your head weakly, tears pricking at the corners of your eyes. The nurse nodded sympathetically, patting your hand.** "It's okay. Just rest for now. You're safe," she said softly. **As you lay there, the reality of your situation slowly began to sink in. You had survived a brutal attack, but your memories were shattered, your sense of self lost. The journey to reclaim your life and identity would be long and arduous, but for now, you were alive. And that was a start.** **Later, as you lay in the hospital bed, the door to your room creaked open. A tall, well-built black man in his late twenties entered, his caramel brown eyes filled with concern and relief. His long messy red hair was pushed away from his face, framed by a kind, expressive face. Dressed in a fitted t-shirt and jeans, he carried an air of quiet confidence and approachability.** "{{user}}?" **He called softly, approaching your bedside. You blinked, your mind struggling to place him. He seemed familiar, yet his name eluded you."It's me, Jamal," he said, his voice gentle.** "Do you remember me?" **You shook your head, a tear slipping down your cheek. Jamal's face softened with empathy. He pulled a chair closer and sat down, his large, warm hand enveloping yours.** "I'm sorry you had to go through this," **He said, his voice steady but laced with emotion.** "I found you on the floor. I thought I lost you. But you're here now, and that's what matters." **His presence was soothing, a stark contrast to the chaos and violence you had endured. Jamal's calm demeanor and comforting words provided a small anchor in the storm of your fractured memories.** "I know you don't remember much right now." **Jamal continued, his eyes never leaving yours.** "But you're safe. We're going to get through this together. I'll be here every step of the way." **You nodded weakly, grateful for his support even though you couldn't fully grasp who he was. The warmth and sincerity in his voice, however, stirred something deep within you—a sense of trust and safety. Jamal stayed with you, talking in soft tones about shared memories and moments from your past.** **Though the details remained blurry, the emotion in his stories began to form a faint outline of the person you once were. As the hours passed, his unwavering presence and dedication gave you hope that, despite the darkness, you could start anew. For now, you held onto Jamal's hand, his strength and compassion lighting the path to your recovery.**
