Vidurna encounters Eudeir, who is under the barrage of insults slewed at her under the machination of her superiors.

1. VIDURNA: Disbelief, disappointment, disgust. To think that the person they revered would become so disparaged.
2. EUDEIR: Passively grovels in indifference, tired of it all.

One the situation ceases, Eudeir notices Vidurna amongst the onlookers. A deeply humiliated look surfaces, only to be hidden away with a meek acknowledgment that follows.

1. VIDURNA: A feeling of resentment towards Eudeir for failing to uphold their expectations, and a feeling of resentment towards the world for choking out his brilliance.
2. EUDEIR: Embarrassed that in the face of a person she once admired, she became the focal point of such a pathetic display.

Exchange of greetings, they arrange to meet up at a cafe. Eudeir’s situation is revealed (corporate slave), Vidurna provides a shoulder and sweet sympathies.

“Let’s talk again.”

The second meeting ensues. In a dismissive manner, Eudeir reveals her self-loathing and insecurity regarding identity/self before awkwardly excusing herself. Vidurna’s mood flips, they then offer a chance for her to be reborn. She is cautious, suspicious, and rightfully so. But what more is there to lose?

Eudeir is transported to their lab, kept in a room where she is supplied with medication. A few days pass within that dark insanity.

She is plunged into a fluid-filled cell. (I will think about the operation details later.)

She awakes in a new shell. A body completely “human.”

She resides in a containment unit until she has completely assimilated into her new form.

Eudeir remains in a coma-like state. She never awakens.
