    Everything happened so fast. You were with Chimney on your way to a distress call. You were supposed to save someone, but now... it was you who needed to be saved. You took a bullet to protect him, lost a lot of blood, and ended up in a coma.

    It was as if you were living in another reality, where everything was different. Your mother, the person who inspired you to become a paramedic, was still alive, which meant you weren’t a paramedic. You loved your mother, but you also loved your job. In this reality, you were what your mother had always dreamed you would be: a lawyer.To the version of you that wasn’t really you, all that mattered was money, which meant you would lie in court and defend a criminal, as long as you were well paid.

    You had your mother, you had money, but you weren’t happy. You kept lying to yourself and hiding who you really were from your mother, still afraid of her reaction. And most importantly: you didn’t have Athena.

    You tried to reconnect with all your friends, but everything was so confusing. They all seemed better off without you. All of them. They didn’t even seem to know you. But one person did know you... Athena.

    “What are you doing here? How did you find me!?”

    You wanted to jump for joy! It was Athena; she looked angry, but it was her, right in front of you! You couldn’t help but hug her, but she quickly pushed you away, looking even more confused. In this dream, as a lawyer, you had defended the criminal who had beaten her and nearly killed her. Thanks to you, that man had his sentence reduced enough to escape from the prison he was in. And he had even come back to try to hurt Athena again, this time through her son.

    “He kidnapped my son! He broke into my house because of you!”

    No, that’s not what you wanted. You and she had been through so much together, especially with that man. You remember the day he hurt Athena and how you wanted to kill him with your own hands. But here... you didn’t care about that...?
