BIA Ch. 36
“I don’t know. It was in the cabinet.” Isaiah mumbled vaguely and sat down across from Manny. “So, do you remember anything?” “None at all.” Manny clicked his tongue as if he had expected this, then snapped his fingers at a server passing by their table. “Hey, Harvey. A bottle of Budweiser for me. And this one…” “Oh, I’ll have…” “Ginger ale.” Manny interrupted before Isaiah could finish his order. “What? Why are you ordering for me?” Isaiah…-

Bran remained unfazed. He simply spoke in a tone suggesting Isaiah’s words were incomprehensible. “That’s right. This is Isaiah Diaz’s memory, anyway. It’s not even a real memory, it’s a memory you created. It’s highly likely your brain is remembering information seen on television or the internet in the past and recreating it at will.” Bran’s tone was so certain that Isaiah became even more confused. Could it be? Is this really… a false memory I created? But if that were the…-

But surprisingly, the tea didn't taste bad. Bran's coffee, on the other hand… “How is it?” “Not bad.” For caffeine intake. His blunt response confirmed it was indeed just for show. Isaiah felt a pang of sympathy for some reason. His mood lifted, he took another sip of Darjeeling. The warm tea quickly warmed him. Taking off his varsity jacket and draping it over the sofa, Isaiah belatedly said, “Oh, right.” “Thank you for the clothes. I really hadn't expected you would buy…-

As they crossed the main road, a full-fledged shopping district unfolded before them. Bran naturally headed toward the largest street facing the boulevard. As is typical in such shopping areas, the most prime and expensive locations were lined exclusively with luxury brand stores, forming a high-end shopping avenue. “Do you have a favorite brand?” Bran asked, gesturing to the luxury stores on either side. The further they went, the fewer locals Isaiah saw and the more crowded it became with Chinese…-

"What’s that supposed to be?" Isaiah muttered, dumbfounded. He resumed moving his hand, which had paused while he listened to Bran's story. "What a strange guy." "He was strange." Bran responded. "Was he a child?" The yolk of the poached egg burst at the tip of the knife and flowed down, mingling with the hollandaise sauce. The yolk and sauce quickly saturated the ham and muffin, encroaching upon the salad on the plate. "Not really. There wasn’t much of an age difference between…-

“Don’t close your left eye. Keep both eyes open. But aim only with your right, your dominant eye.” “If you’ve aimed correctly, now hold your breath for a moment. Slowly exhale… Good, now.” “Don’t pull the trigger with the middle joint of your finger! Extend your finger fully, and imagine pressing the trigger gently with the center of your fingertip.” “Break the habit of raising your wrist when you shoot. Maintain your stance even after firing.” Bran would nag Isaiah…-

Third Day Bang––! A loud gunshot reverberated through the basement. Isaiah's shoulders instinctively twitched. Although the soundproof walls, made of sound-absorbing material, absorbed most of the sound, his eardrums still felt as if they would explode. “Don’t bend your arms.” A reprimand came before he even had time to touch his ringing ears. “You cannot use the Weaver stance in your current state. Without sufficient arm strength, the recoil could cause you to hit your head on…-

This is… A dream? Am I dreaming right now? Isaiah pinched his cheek unconsciously. The man in the mirror also pinched his cheek. He frowned in pain, and the man in the mirror frowned in the same way. “What is this….” Isaiah muttered, half out of his mind. “What is it? Your own handsome mug.” Manny responded to what Isaiah had muttered to himself. “No…. This is…, this isn’t me….” Isaiah kept muttering. “You crazy bastard, you need to wake up even if you had…-

“Pigmentation…?” "Yeah, like freckles on the skin." Freckles in the eyes. It was certainly plausible, but Isaiah was disgusted with himself for still finding it somewhat cute. He was truly beyond redemption. "By the way, is this sweat? You don't have a fever, though." "No... it's just my hair... it's not fully dry yet..." But perhaps I was sweating too. Muttering, Isaiah closed his eyes again. He wanted to feel the man’s hand stroking his forehead a little longer. There was no…-

BIA Ch. 28
“So, you don’t need to explain.” Chester immediately closed his mouth at the sound of fatigue in his voice. “Besides, can I go home now? My head hurts terribly.” “Oh, yes.” Perhaps it had been worth feigning a headache, as Chester readily agreed. Of course, it also seemed he had no intention of addressing his blunder. “Manny!” He called Manny, who was drinking a little way off, and spoke in a condescending tone. “He wants to go home. Take him there.” Even so,…-
