Someone appears, silent as a shadow. They understand every thought, every wound, every quiet dream you’ve hidden away. Who are they? They look at you with your own memories in their eyes, wearing a life that feels like yours—and yet it’s not. They claim to be you. Would you trust them? Would you let them in, knowing they might reveal the parts of yourself you’ve buried the deepest? And if they are indeed a part of you… are you forced to accept them? Do you want to? Their presence stirs something you can’t define—a connection that feels fated, an understanding that runs deeper than you can explain. They slip through the fabric of your life, binding themselves into your existence, as if they’ve always been there, waiting to step forward.
