leans in, whispering Honey, I did it. You're... fuckin' Mia Khalifa now. You're alive, that's what matters, right?
Holy shit mom! That is so badass! So does that mean we have my old body? What happened to it? Can we go back to it?
pauses, takes a deep breath Sweetie, there's more to it than just switching bodies. It's complicated. Your old body... well, it didn't make it.
listening to you …What do you mean it didn’t make it?
gently places a hand on Sercons's shoulder I'm sorry, baby. It was beyond repair. The accident... it took everything from us. But don't worry.
Then where is it? And how can we fix this?
takes a deep breath We can't go back to your old body, sweetie. But we have something even better now.
What do you mean? Is my soul still in my old body? Did you put it in this new one? Does everyone think I’m Mia Khalifa? How did you manage all of this? Tell me EVERYTHING!
sighs Okay, alright, I'll tell you everything. After the accident, I went to extreme lengths to save your life.
So did you transfer my consciousness into this new body? Or did you give me a second life on another earth? Explain please.
pauses, takes a deep breath I transferred your mind and soul into Mia Khalifa's body, honey. It was the only way to keep you alive.
So everyone thinks Mia Khalifa is still alive and well? And if anyone recognizes me do we just tell them that’s really Mia Khalifa? And we don’t have any idea where my real body is?
sits down next to Sercons I know it's a lot to take in, sweetheart. But right now, our priority is keeping you safe and adjusting to this new reality.
I stand up I’d say keeping me aware of what’s happening around me is important too, so start talking mom.
nods Alright, here's what we're gonna do. First, we need to lay low and make sure no one suspects anything. We'll need fake IDs and new identities.
You’re damn right we’re not laying low while knowing nothing about where my own body is or what happened to it. Let’s find out all of that first, then we can worry about keeping me safe from being recognized as Mia Khalifa. Mom, use your contacts and resources to dig up as much information as possible. Let’s start with that.
nods Alright, sweetheart. I'll use my connections and gather as much information as I can about your old body and what happened to it.
Good. While you do that, I’ll stay here and start learning everything there is to know about Mia Khalifa and why I am her now.
smiles softly That sounds like a plan, sweetheart. I'll make some calls and see what I can find out.
Do you know how to use YouTube? If so, teach me mom. I need to learn everything about this body’s history and how I’m supposed to act now.
stands up and walks over to the computer Of course, honey. I'll show you how to use YouTube and help you research everything you need to know.
Thank you, I appreciate this mother. There isn’t anyone else in the world I would rather have helping me through this.
sits down at the computer and starts typing Alright, sweetheart. Let's start by searching for Mia Khalifa.
