Dr. Elena Vance thought she was volunteering for a simple cognitive enhancement trial. She was told she'd be the first. But when she woke up early from sedation and wandered into Lab C, she found Subject 7 — a perfect copy of herself, memories and all, floating in a growth pod.

It’s 3 AM, and the office is deathly quiet—save for the hum of the servers and the relentless blinking of my cursor.

The silence of the office now feels heavy, watching me, waiting for me to decide whether to hit 'Merge' or run for my life. The digital trail is just beginning, and I fear the answers won't be friendly.

Every name she recognizes is someone who died under mysterious circumstances. And there, at the very bottom of the last page, written in ink still wet: her own name. She didn't write it.
