I laughed. Didn’t you team up with Jessica

With a genius like her, why would you need 

me to fix anything?” 

Emily! How dare you talk to your cousin like 

that! You get back here right now!” 

The voice on the other end switched to my 

dad. Hearing his roar, I finally understood: my 

cousin and I were never on the same level

I had to be exceptional for my dad to like me

My cousin just had to be a guy

Even though my cousin was a screwup, he 

was made general manager right after 

graduating

My dad was always saying how much he 

loved me, but he really just wanted me to 

quietly support my cousin

Fine then, they could live happily ever after 

with their adopted daughter

I hung up. Suddenly, my head felt like it had 

been hit with a sledgehammer

The pain was so intense I was dripping with 

sweat. I curled up in a ball and collapsed on 

the floor, staring at the statues of Buddha as 

my mind slipped away

Through the haze, I saw a monk walking 

towards me

I woke up in a guest room at the temple. My 

head was still throbbing. I checked my phone 

it was blowing up

Calls from my cousin, my dad, Brian, and 

Sarah. I scrolled through social media

The top trending topic was my family’s financial system getting hacked. My dad’s 

company was on the verge of bankruptcy

I turned off my phone. That was my dad’s and 

my cousin’s problem, not mine

Right now, I just wanted to know why my 

head hurt so damn much

I stepped outside and saw the monk who’d 

saved me watering plants. I bowed, thanking 

him for his help

His eyes were piercing, like he could see right 

through me. He gave a slight nod in return

No need to worry so much, young woman

You’re destined for great things. Since fate has given you another chance, the ending will 

surely not disappoint. Just hold onto your 

heart.” 

My breath caught. The monk knew I was

reborn

I blurted out, Master, if you can see that I’ve 

been reborn, can you explain something to 

me? Why can someone share my thoughts

like we’re connected? And why does my head 

hurt?” 

The monk smiled calmly. I think you’re 

talking to the wrong person. For headaches

you should see a doctor.” 

He turned and walked away. I didn’t know 

what he was playing at, but he was right

Headaches meant doctors

I found the nearest hospital and the doctor 

ordered a CT scan

During the scan, I saw the doctor call in 

several other doctors to look at the images

My heart sank. Crap, did I have some kind of 

terminal illness

After the scan, the doctor pointed to 

something on the screen

See this? There’s something in your head

Our initial assessment is that it was put there 

surgically after you were born. Have you had 

any head surgery?” 

Г 

I was stunned. I’ve never had any head 

surgery.” 

The doctor shook his head. That’s 

impossible. We’ve all looked at this, and the 

results are clear. This thing was definitely put 

in there later.” 

Head surgery, even after recovery, must take 

time, there’s no way I have no memories of it

Seeing my expression, he continued, pointing 

again. See this? There’s something that 

looks like a gripper. That’s probably what’s 

causing your headaches.” 

Soit’s grabbing my brain, causing the 

pain?” 

く 

Looks that way. As for what you said before

about someone knowing what you’re thinking

that could be related to this thing, too. But 

until we get it out, we can’t be sure.” 

The doctor strongly advised that I figure out 

how that thing got in my head

It can already extend those claws and grab 

your brain. It could kill you at any time!” 

I nodded, acknowledging what he was saying
