Void; there are voids that cannot be filled, like a silent abyss that devours the senses and leaves only a shadow of what once was. Time shatters, and memories fade like dust blown by an echo from afar. In every corner of a turbulent mind, where once there was life, now remains a muffled echo, a bubbling absence. The void is an invisible force, more powerful than oblivion, for it not only suppresses—it consumes. And in the depths of this abyss, there are eyes that watch, lights that twinkle, and whispered promises that evaporate like smoke. The void is an unanswered plea, a journey without a destination. Yet still, within the void, something stirs, a spark that, though fragile, still burns.

The void was a suffocating presence, like a dense fog that obscures any thread of reality.

Galactic Republic Medical Station

The cold and sterile environment was illuminated by a strong white light that dominated the windowless room, contrasting with its white walls and floors, making the atmosphere even more suffocating. A repetitive sound broke the massive silence that filled the room, linked to the young woman unconscious on the bed.

Slowly opening her eyes, she felt an unbearable pain coursing through her head. It was as if thousands of needles were piercing her skull, and as she tried to move, her body protested. It was heavy, sore. Every muscle seemed foreign to her control, as if it had become unaccustomed to responding. For a moment, the world around her was just a blur of lights and undefined shapes.

The sound of a repetitive metallic beep flowed through the room, forcefully entering her eardrums. As her eyes began to adjust, the first thing she saw was a figure, something... not human. It was a metallic structure, moving automatically, with limbs that made no sense. Its lights flashed and spun while emitting indecipherable sounds that echoed like beats in her head.

"What... what is that?" she whispered, her voice weak, hoarse, almost inaudible, her throat dry.

Her words were swallowed by the void. Her heart began to beat hard, accelerating until she felt the rhythm in her chest, as if it were about to explode.

What was that?
Where was she?
What was happening?

A sense of desperation and confusion spread like poison in her veins. She looked around, the almost monochromatic environment caused strangeness. She tried to stand up, but a sharp pain coursed through her head, almost causing her to lose consciousness. Her hands trembled, and touching them to her temple, the slightest contact sent an even greater wave of pain.
