In the superior most of our body, deep into our skull, lies a huge clump of tissue made of interconnected nerve cells. The brain. The brain serves as our center of mental and motor processes. Without it, we would be like the dead. It's the most vital organ in our system, but it's the one that is not fully understood. Since the beginning of time, many mysteries have been hidden inside our brains, waiting to be discovered and understood. But despite the difficulty and dedication of experts, they still fail to uncover its hidden secrets. Well, not for long. A private group of scientists experimented intending to unlock the remaining capacity of the human brain. All they wanted was to know, but what they did was to reveal. Despite their success in discovering and exposing its secrets, the world became closer to danger. A danger they unintentionally unleashed.

"Argh! Why can't I do it this time!" Maica exclaimed in frustration, lying on the sofa she was sitting on. I, too, felt tired from teaching her. Actually, I was hungry, and I assumed Maica was too. So, I stood up and headed to the kitchen. 


Tita and Sky had gone to the mall to buy groceries, leaving Maica and me alone. While Carlo decided to continue living in the forest, Trisha was dealing with some business at her house. They had nowhere else to go, and he said he couldn't leave a place he once loved.
