Inside an apartment, a girl carrying a bowl filled with popcorn is humming happily to her favorite song.
Her brown hair which is in a messy bun lightly bounce as the girl bobbed her head to the song she's humming. The girl is donning her favorite cream knitted sweater and black jogging pants due to the cold season. On her tall straight nose are glasses which framed her beautiful caramel colored eyes.
She suddenly stopped in her tracks when she felt her phone buzzed, playing a happy tune.
Happy Birthday, Iris!
The girl, Iris, weakly grinned after dismissing the reminder on her phone.
Ah! I'm getting old.
Iris thought despite the fact that she's only in her mid 20's, still young and healthy. She then decided to throw a piece of popcorn to the air and try catching it with her mouth.
Though childish, this is Iris' way to reminisce her childhood days.
When she was able to do so in her first try, Iris tried again. The popcorn flew into the air. It fell right in Iris' mouth but before she could even chew it properly, a loud bang was heard which made Iris choke on the popcorn due to surprise.
She tried dislodging the popcorn from her throat, being a doctor herself, Iris knew how to do the Heimlich Maneuver. She made a fist with one hand and put it below her rib cage. Pressing her fist into the area with a quick upward movement.
But when that didn't work, she immediately turned around to use a chair, only to bump her face on the door hard which made the popcorn went deeper to her throat.
As Iris felt her life draining from her, she suddenly heard a voice.
[Transferring host...]
Iris thought that what she heard was probably an auditory hallucination due to lack of oxygen. But before death embraced her, she heard again the voice earlier.
[Transfer complete. Welcoming new host.]
