Emily's eyes were wide with shock as she remembered the man's words. "I remember being told that I had to forget my past," she said. "That I had to forget who I was, and what I had done."

Ryan's face was grim. "What else do you remember?" he asked.

Emily took a deep breath, trying to process the memories that were flooding her mind. "I remember feeling like I was living in a dream," she said. "Like nothing was real, and that I was just going through the motions."

Ryan's eyes narrowed, his face filled with concern. "What else do you remember?" he asked.

Emily's heart was racing as she tried to remember. "I remember feeling like I was being watched," she said. "Like someone was always following me, always watching me."

Ryan's face was grim. "What else do you remember?" he asked.

Emily took a deep breath, trying to process the memories that were flooding her mind. "I remember feeling like I was losing myself," she said. "Like I was disappearing, bit by bit."

Ryan's eyes narrowed, his face filled with concern. "What else do you remember?" he asked.

Emily's heart was racing as she tried to remember. "I remember feeling like I was trapped," she said. "Like I was stuck in a never-ending nightmare, and that I couldn't wake up."

Ryan's face was grim. "What else do you remember?" he asked.

Emily took a deep breath, trying to process the memories that were flooding her mind. "I remember feeling like I was searching for something," she said. "Like I was trying to find a piece of myself that I had lost."

Ryan's eyes narrowed, his face filled with concern. "What else do you remember?" he asked.

Emily's heart was racing as she tried to remember. "I remember feeling like I was getting close to the truth," she said. "Like I was finally starting to remember who I was, and what I had done."

Ryan's face was grim. "What else do you remember?" he asked.

Emily took a deep breath, trying to process the memories that were flooding her mind. "I remember feeling like I was in danger," she said. "Like someone was trying to stop me from remembering, from uncovering the truth."

Ryan's eyes narrowed, his face filled with concern. "What else do you remember?" he asked.

Emily's heart was racing as she tried to remember. "I remember feeling like I was running out of time," she said. "Like I had to remember who I was, and what I had done, before it was too late."

Ryan's face was grim. "What else do you remember?" he asked.

Emily took a deep breath, trying to process the memories that were flooding her mind. "I remember feeling like I was finally starting to remember," she said. "Like the fog was finally starting to clear, and that I could see the truth."

Ryan's eyes narrowed, his face filled with concern. "What else do you remember?" he asked.

Emily's heart was racing as she tried to remember. "I remember feeling like I was finally free," she said. "Like I had finally broken free from the chains that had been holding me back, and that I could finally see the truth."

As Emily finished speaking, Ryan's face was filled with a mix of emotions. He looked relieved, but also concerned.

"What does it all mean?" Emily asked, looking at Ryan.

Ryan's face was grim. "I don't know," he said. "But I think we're getting close to the truth. I think we're finally starting to uncover the secrets that have been hidden from us for so long."

Emily's heart was racing as she looked at Ryan. She knew that they were taking a risk by trying to uncover the truth, but she also knew that they had to try.

They had to know what had happened to them, and why they had been erased from existence.

As they sat there, trying to process the memories that were flooding Emily's mind, Ryan's phone suddenly rang.

Ryan's eyes narrowed as he looked at the screen. "It's Marcus," he said.

Emily's heart skipped a beat as she looked at Ryan. What did Marcus want?

Ryan's face was grim as he answered the phone. "Hello?"

As Ryan listened to Marcus's voice on the other end of the line, his face grew more and more concerned.

"What is it?" Emily asked, looking at Ryan.

Ryan's face was grim. "It's Marcus," he said. "He says that we're in danger. He says that someone is coming for us, and that we need to get out of here now."

Emily's heart was racing as she looked at Ryan. What did Marcus mean?

And who was coming for them?
