The world was a blur of vibrant colours and exciting sounds for Maya. She skipped down the street, her mind racing with plans for the weekend. The doctor's appointment was a minor inconvenience, but she was looking forward to getting the information she needed. She even started singing as she skipped, her voice carrying on the wind.

The clinic buzzed with activity. When she was called in, she found the doctor, a woman with a professional but reassuring air, waiting. "Let's see those results then!"

The doctor’s expression shifted as she reviewed the file. "I am so sorry, but it appears we have a problem. There's been a mix-up of records."
