It felt like I was reliving everything all over again, and the intensity of those flashbacks was messing with my emotions.I instinctively rubbed my temples, but that didn't ease the pain. It was like my hands had a mind of their own, reaching for my face. I touched my lips, ran my fingers across my cheeks, as if I was trying to remind myself of my physical presence. With a strong urge to tear my skins off, I had an inner battle with myself.My face was fake, everything about me was fake. I had changed myself so much that I was beginning to forget who I truly was.Years back, Aria's father provided me with shelter, and I was advised to undergo a life-changing surgery that would change even the most basic aspects of my physical appearance, such as the color of my hair.Technology was surely a big thing in this advanced world.
