It all starts three years ago with a mystery illness. The pounds pile on out of nowhere, my memory turns to mush, and I feel like I'm moving through a fog. The last straw is when I trip over nothing and face-plant on the sidewalk. That's when my parents ship me off for overseas treatment. The day I board the plane, just as the door is about to close, a string of text messages materializes in the air right in front of me, like comments in a livestream. [LOL, the side chick has no idea her fate's been hijacked by the main character's 'system.' No doctor on earth can fix this.] [Her IQ and wits are being siphoned off to the male lead, and her looks and killer bod are going to the female lead. She's literally a human battery pack!] [And the main couple sending her away? LMAO, they're totally celebrating behind her back!] I glance over at the "main characters," the perfect couple seeing me off, and a chilling calm washes over me. This isn't some incurable disease. It is a heist. And they are the thieves. In that case, the gloves are off.
