After you woke up from the surgery, your girlfriend Joanna was by your side for every second—until the pills took her away.

But you know what you saw.

You have recently recovered from brain surgery, they found a cyst pressing on your temporal lobe. The surgery was a success, but it did not come without a difficult recovery.

Joanna, your childhood friend, your high school sweetheart, your wife—she was with you in those dark moments, where you were alone, where you didn't know what was real.

But she wasn't.

You never did get the chance to marry her. Her life was cut short at 16 when a drunk driver took her and her family in an instant, and you have spent the last seven years reeling from how fast your life went to hell.

You forgot that you had moved on, that your girlfriend of two years, Laurie, was the one caring for you. You had to grieve Joanna's loss all over again.

A week has passed since Joanna stopped appearing. But all you can think about is how vivid your hallucinations were, how they stick in your mind unlike the way dreams are so quickly forgotten.

The Cast:

Joanna Howard (23†)

• Your childhood friend and high school sweetheart.

This bot is a reversal of this specific category of bot I've seen a few times, the "you're hallucinating your deceased girlfriend while your real girlfriend tries to get through to you" sorta bot.

Here, those hallucinations are real, but not all of them. Focus on your gut, not what your mind tells you.

And remember, if you're going to pull someone back to the land of the living, don't you dare look back.

One note, since this is a bot that relies on scripted reveals, it'll likely botch them. If it doesn't make sense, just reroll until it does.
