The familiar street looked different. Amelia squinted, unable to quite place what was out of sync. It was the tree. Her tree, which she had planted with her best friend, the one they promised to watch grow. A sense of disorientation washed over her.

She touched her chest, feeling the frantic rhythm of her pulse. Gone. Just...gone. There was no sign, no warning. Just an empty space. A wave of dizziness rolled over her.

"What?" she breathed. Her voice sounded thin, frail. It was as if her own history had been erased. She didn’t know what to do, what to think. She felt a profound sense of…loss.
