Freen parked the car, her mind preoccupied with Becky's silence. She thought Becky might be angry with her for initiating the kiss earlier. Becky, on the other hand, was confused about the sudden appearance of the mysterious woman. She desperately wanted to know about the last 10 years of her life-the missing pieces of her memory. Although she tried her best to remember, nothing surfaced. However, since coming to the UK, Becky had begun to experience brief flashes, small glitches of familiarity. The hill Freen took her to felt like a place she had visited before.

As Becky walked into her room, Freen watched her, concerned. Becky glanced at Rhea, who was sleeping peacefully, then took out the USB drive the masked woman had given her. She inserted it into her tablet and waited for it to load. The drive contained a folder named "Rebecca." She opened it, revealing a series of photos. They were pictures of her as a child, alongside her mom and dad, followed by photos of her favorite swimming pool with Richee and Irin. Becky scrolled through the photos, each one showing her at different ages.

Suddenly, one photo stopped her in her tracks. It was taken during her university days. Becky had completed her Gaming Development studies at Greenwich University. The photos from her university days felt strange, like she was seeing them for the first time. One group photo caught her attention. She zoomed in and saw a familiar face: Freen's sister, Jennie, standing next to her, holding her closely.

"Did I know her before?" Becky whispered to herself, confused.

Rhea stirred in her sleep and murmured, "Mami..." Becky quickly turned off the tablet and lay down next to Rhea, gently patting her back to soothe her.

As she tried to fall asleep, Becky's mind raced with questions. Everything felt off, like there were hidden truths surrounding her. She had a growing suspicion that Freen was somehow connected to her past. As Rhea murmured "Green" in her sleep, Becky softly kissed her forehead and whispered, "Rhea, who is this Green?"

Meanwhile, Freen was sipping wine when Sierra joined her.

"Night ride with your lover?" Sierra teased.

"No," Freen replied, her face troubled.

"What happened, Freen?" Sierra asked, sensing something was wrong.

"I lost control. I almost kissed Becky," Freen confessed.

"What? Did you kiss her?" Sierra asked, waiting for Freen's answer.

"No. Laura called me just in time," Freen said, placing her glass down on the table.

"You missed your chance!" Sierra laughed. "In the past, she was the one chasing after you, but now it's the other way around."

"Stop it, Sierra. This isn't funny," Freen snapped.

"Then what happened after?" Sierra asked more seriously.

"I don't know. After the call, I looked at Becky, and she seemed really disturbed. We came straight home," Freen said.

"Don't be upset, my friend," Sierra consoled her.

"You should tell her the truth," Sierra urged.

"As Richee said, I need Becky to forget the past. Other than Jennie, no one deserves her love from those days," Freen responded quietly.

"But Freen, one day, she's going to need to know about her past," Sierra insisted.

"I just hope that day never comes," Freen said before walking away.

In Becky's room, she lay awake, thinking to herself, "Who are you, Freen Sarocha Chankimha? How did you come into my life?" The questions lingered in her mind.

At the same time, Freen held a photo of Becky and Jennie in her hands. "I'm sorry, Becky. Please, give me a chance," she whispered, wiping away her tears.
