"So these chips are basically designed to enhance the aspects of your brain that allow you to only feel euphoric and block the inhibitors of pain receptors," Yuki explained the little device in her hand, looking at it in awe. "Fascinating. Truly, the wonders this could have done for people suffering from major illnesses and incurable pain. Wow..."

"It can all be yours," Jaha reveled in the excited look on the young girl's face.

"Hang on now, I didn't list off the side effects," Yuki's excitement dropped off her face. "An AI woman controlling just want emotions you feel and manipulating your brain to becoming someone who only remembers half a story."

"Ah, Mya's gotten in your head," Jaha chuckled, nodding his head. "Nonbelievers are very narrow minded and stuck in their ways. But you said it yourself, think of all the advancements that can be made with this. You can make with this. Alie can help you see things you have never dreamed of before."

"That bitch messed with one of my best friends," Yuki slapped the chip back into his open palmed hand. "I'd rather be dumb than an asshole. And just some helpfully advice, you shouldn't talk to me or Mya will beat you to a pulp for even suggesting I take this."

"And you let Mya control your life decisions?" Jaha tried to get some sort of reaction out of her.

"At the mall? No, the girl can't string an outfit together to save her life. At school? Hell to the no, she just tries to cheat off me the whole time. Here?" Yuki waved her hand to gesture around the hospital. "Oh most definitely. Because between you and me, I don't really know what's going on most of the time."

The doors to the hospital opened up and Mya made her way through it. Giving Jaha a passing look as she walked by them. "Jaha step away from the girl before I use your backpack as target practice."

Jaha raised his hands in mock surrender. "We were just chatting about her future in medicine."

Mya rolled her eyes. "Sure you were." She pulled the office door in the back of the ward open, seeing Abby sitting behind her desk. "So?"

"I have your results," Abby picked up her tablet off the desk. "Come in and shut the door."

Mya shut the door behind her but made no move to sit down in the chair. "Just tell me. Alright? Tell me that the radiation here was just something my body wasn't used to a-and I'm never getting my period again. Tell me, please. I-I need to know what's going on inside my body."

"Sit, first," Abby gestured to the chair. 

Mya didn't want to at first because when you're told to sit in these situations, it means the news is so bad that their afraid you will faint. But she did, feeling very stiff as she sat in her chair across from Abby.

"Alright, so, the good news is that you are not suffering from any kind of radiation positing," Abby examined the blood test. "Actually, your levels are amazing for someone who comes from a time where you were not exposed to-"
