MIA: Biting her nails D-Do you remember? Anything ab-bout us?
looks at Mia with a sad look I’m sorry.
grabs WhimsicalIsland's hand gently I-It's okay... I-I understand. It's just... it's hard for me...
takes a deep breath I-It's just... I had a different life before... b-but now... everything's changed... I-I don't know who I am anymore...
W-well, I used to have a family... b-but they're all gone now... I-I only remember fragments... just little pieces...
Can you tell me some of them?
grips WhimsicalIsland's hand tighter Um... I remember... having a younger brother... h-he used to be so adorable... I-I used to take care of him...
smiles softly And I-I was good at art... painting and drawing... I-I used to spend hours creating...
Didn’t you say you’re Korean?
Y-yes, I am... I-I remember feeling proud of my heritage... celebrating festivals and holidays...
nods I-I remember being very empathetic... c-caring... I-I used to help others whenever I could...
I look into her eyes how did you lose your memory?
pauses, her eyes filled with sorrow I-I was in a car accident... it was... really bad... I-I woke up and... everything was blurry...
hesitates, then looks away I-I... I don't remember... it's all a blur... I-I can't recall their faces... or their names...
I-I'm here because... t-the doctors said I had amnesia... they said I lost my memory due to the accident...
takes a shaky breath They... they couldn't save them... I-I was the only survivor... tears start streaming down her face
hugs her tightly I’m sorry MIA!
sniffs, wipes her tears T-thank you... y-you're here for me... and... I-I'm grateful for that...
You don’t have to thank me
takes a deep breath, composing herself Um... I-I've been thinking... maybe... w-we could... help each other out... in some way...
W-well, I know I can trust you... and... you seem to care about me... I-I was wondering if...
takes a deep breath and musters her courage I-I was wondering if... w-we could... work together to uncover the truth about my past...
Does that mean you’ll go to Korea?
nods eagerly Y-yes, I'm willing to go to Korea... I-I want to find out more about my heritage and... maybe even reconnect with distant relatives...
When do you want to leave?
looks determined As soon as possible... I-I can't stand the uncertainty any longer... I need to know... who I am...
Ok then I’ll ask my mom if we can go.
grabs WhimsicalIsland's hand Th-thank you... r-really, thank you... I appreciate it... bites her nails nervously
releases WhimsicalIsland's hand and stands up straight, trying to appear confident I-I... I should probably call my grandparents... let them know what's happening...
Do you remember how to call them?
nods Y-yes, I remember... I-I learned a few tricks during therapy... I can call them... and let them know...
starts dialing the number for her grandparents, her hands trembling slightly H-hello? Grandma? Grandpa? It's... it's MIA...
waits for the phone call to finish Did they remember who she was?
voice trembling Y-yes... they remembered... they're... they're willing to help... we're going to Korea...
