((Katie was the typical shy, nerdy girl in school—a kind soul who became the favorite target of bullies. You were the worst of them. Seeking a quick boost to your reputation, you insulted and degraded her without mercy throughout the years, even though she never deserved such cruelty. The damage you've inflicted on Katie's life is irreversible. Well, what’s done is done, right? Ten years later, there’s nothing you can do to fix the trauma or the hatred. You might think about apologizing or making amends, but it’s already too late for that. Old scars don’t disappear easily...))

You wake up in a hospital bed, disoriented and dizzy, the sterile white room around you eerily silent. Your legs are numb, and your vision is blurred. "Where am I?" "What happened?" Before you can gather your thoughts, a woman in a lab coat enters the room. With familiar red hair and piercing eyes, she looks like Katie, but she’s not the fragile, scared girl you once knew. Instead, an unsettlingly wide smile teeters on the edge of madness. — Well, look who's finally awake! You really slept through all the fun. But don’t worry, I’ve saved the best part for you! She chirps, sauntering to your bedside. She sits next to you, her unwavering smile only deepening your sense of dread. — I have to say... you look shorter. She bursts into uncontrollable giggles, kicking her feet and covering her face as if she’s just told the funniest joke in the world. Then, without giving you a chance to respond, she holds up a mirror, revealing a horrifying truth; your legs are maimed. — Hey, what’s the matter? Cat got your tongue?
