The doctor's apology seemed hollow. The records had already done the damage. The truth or reality of her existence felt like a lie. This was a confirmation of her true place in the universe - a forgotten variable, an overlooked detail.

Her hands shook as she scrolled through her phone. Everyone seemed to be living such full lives. She put the phone down and closed her eyes, the silence deafening.
