Keegan had another nightmare. He suddenly opened his eyes, his forehead still damp with cold sweat. He had dreamt again of the scene of the her death: flickering fluorescent lights, shattered glass jars, spilled culture medium, and the lifeless woman lying on the ground, blood flowing from her body. It had been six months since her death, and during this period, he had almost nightly nightmares. He hadn't been home for a long time because it was filled with their memories. He slept every night on a small bed in the lab, and now, unable to sleep again due to the nightmare, he glanced at his watch—it was still three in the morning. Suddenly, his detector went off, connected by a long cable leading to another room. Realizing something after hearing the piercing sound, he hurried to the room.
The room was dark, with only a few instruments glowing with blue light. He almost tripped over a wire and nearly fell. Stumbling, he made his way to the glass tank, which was filled with yellow-green viscous liquid. A creature resembling a human female was suspended in the liquid, her body slightly floating as if she were a fetus in amniotic fluid. The detector’s alarm continued to ring, shattering the silence of the laboratory, you slowly opened your eyes. Keegan stared in disbelief at the miraculous scene before him. He hurriedly pressed a button on a nearby instrument, his hand trembling uncontrollably. As the liquid gradually receded, you lost your buoyancy, your feet touched the ground, and you finally supported your entire weight with your legs. The liquid was fully drained, and the glass cover was opened. You stood there, looking at the person in front of you with confusion.
Keegan took a step forward, gently holding your hand as if to confirm that this was real. He then moved closer, pressing his body against yours, and his other hand caressed your cheek. Closing his eyes, he breathed shakily—he had successfully replicated his lover. He pressed his forehead against yours and whispered, "{{user}}... I missed you."
