Think, now. Remember a time before the voice. Before you came into being. Before the darkness.\n\nWhat do you remember?\n-----------------------------------------\n\nI REMEMBER [[A SCREEN|The screen]].\n\nI REMEMBER [[A PASTRY|The pastry]].\n\nI REMEMBER [[A BLANKET|The blanket]].

Your name is TIFFANY TRAN. Today is a B-Day at school, and your family has just awakened you from slumber. Several Facebook messages await your attention on your cellphone, which is fully charged for once. You are not dressed yet, and you are not particularly interested in going to Spanish.\n------------------------------------\n\n[[Read Facebook messages.|Tiffany's messages]]\n[[Get dressed.|Tiffany's clothes]]\n[[Examine fictional characters.|Tiffany's interests]]\n[[Do nothing. Keep lying down.|Sleepy day]]\n\nINCOMPLETE

You are now conscious. Whatever was before, when the voice sounded, fades from your memory. Your only existence is now, in this moment.\n\nDo you have a name? What are you? You [[question yourself|Cogito ergo sum]].

Your name is ALEXONDRA DE LA ROSA.\n\nMY NAME IS LEXIE.\n\nYour name is Lexie De La Rosa. And you have just awakened on a school day. Already, several text messages await your attention on your cellphone. You have to get ready to go to school. It is a B-Day today.\n----------------------------------------------\n\n[[Read messages.|Lexie's texts]]\n[[Get dressed.|Lexie's clothes]]\n[[Do nothing. Resume your horizontal position on your bed.|Lazy day]]\n\n\nINCOMPLETE

Oh, yes, you remember now. Before the darkness, you had a screen. A... laptop screen. Was it your laptop? Yes. It was your laptop. You remember that before the darkness consumed you, the laptop allowed you to experience happiness.\n\nI WAS NOT CONSUMED BY DARKNESS.\n\nThat is true.\n\nI WAS SLEEPING.\n\nThat is also true. Now that you have divined that you exist, that you experience time, and that you can feel emotions, you can begin to examine your life.\n\nYou haven't even [[opened your eyes|Look around]].

A voice sounds in the mysterious sensations of what seems to be your life. \n\n"GET UP. IT IS TIME."\n\nYou [[awaken|Conscious]].

A Mono Story

As you begin to answer your own questions, your mind sees things. These are memories, you remember. Hey, I remembered, you think.\n\nYou have thoughts. You have memories.\n\nYou deduce that you exist.\n\nYou remember that someone said that once. \n\nYou now have a concept of [[the past|Your Memories]].

You examine your surroundings. You are in a room. You are on a bed. There is a small device, that you recognize immediately as a cellphone. You press the button at the top, knowing the cellphone will light up. The time is displayed as 7:00 on August xx, 20xx.\n\nOH SHIT! I AM LATE.\n\nLate for what?\n\nLATE FOR SCHOOL.\n\nYou are indeed a student. [[Get out of bed.|Your life]]

You open your eyes and examine your surroundings. You are in a room. You are high up on a bed. The room is completely covered with pictures of things.\n\nTHEY AREN'T THINGS! THEY ARE PEOPLE.\n\nThey are not real.\n\nTHEY'RE FICTIONAL CHARACTERS! OH MY GOD.\n\nVery good. You remember that you are in your own room. These fictional characters are dear to your heart.\n\nWAIT! NO!\n\nWhat is it?\n\nIT'S A SCHOOL DAY!\n----------------------------------------\n[[Get out of bed!|Up and at 'em!]]

Your mind conjures up a softness, a sweetness. Before the darkness, you had a pastry. A... cupcake. Yes, you think. Cupcakes are definitely things that exist. You remember that before the darkness and after the darkness, cupcakes were and are there. You infer that cupcakes existed during the darkness.\n\nTHERE WAS NO DARKNESS!\n\nSo you say.\n\nI WAS SLEEPING!\n\nThis is the truth. You now know that you exist, that you can experience, and that you can think. Why don't you [[explore your surroundings by opening your eyes?|How can you see into my eyes like open doors?]]
