A young child was lying on his bed with his eyes wide open, showing no signs of life, not even breathing. Then, a blue light reflected onto his retinas, and he couldn't read what was written there; the text remained visible for a few minutes.
As the writing vanished, something changed in the boy. He slowly began to breathe, and his eyes started to move. However, his movements were strangely robotic, as if he knew nothing. This made me wonder if his body had been taken over by some kind of computer. But then, his actions became more and more natural, and as he touched and fiddled with objects, it seemed like he understood what he was doing.
Suddenly, he froze and started looking around. Had he noticed me? I couldn't accept that. I immediately dealt with the mind stone and disabled his spiritual emission. The boy froze and fell to the ground. This indicated that his movements were controlled remotely. I couldn't perform such robotic movements even if I wanted to. Then, I thought he had died, but he started coughing. Fear washed over me, and I checked the mind stone, but it was still closed. I realized he was crying, which meant he wasn't being controlled; his lifeless body had come back to life. Did the computer set him back to a controllable state before leaving, or did the remaining body develop its own consciousness, or was the old soul still there and repaired?

After all, even if this race didn't know about mind stones, they had gained consciousness in some strange liquid and messy way. I didn't want to put myself in danger, so I decided to go back. In order to ensure that the boy wouldn't be possessed again, I knocked him unconscious. Looking at his body on the ground, I felt sorry for him, and I took out a pebble I had found during a previous mission from my pocket and inserted it into his spinal cord and applied the healing liquid. I did this to prevent him from being possessed again and to avoid them finding any memories related to me. No need for unnecessary risks.
Then, I took the teleportation stone and shattered it. When I broke the stone, everything around me went dark
