Embers Page #4

Synopsis: In a dystopian future, an unidentified virus of some kind has caused a neurological disease of global proportions and has infected the majority of the Earth's population. As we observe the lives of several people who still remain relatively unharmed by this illness, we understand their struggle to hopelessly attach to their former way of life, where even the simplest things, require great effort to be accomplished.

All right.

--Ready to go?

Here we go.

All right.

Miranda...

Now, you won't get lost.

By firing

the same assembly

of neurons

as when we first

experienced an event,

we re-experience...

This repetition of the neural

patterns strengthens

the synaptic connections

and solidifies

the memory trace.

Retrace your steps.

First step. Step one...

Re-fire the neurons.

But how?

Fire the same neurons.

How can I re-fire the neurons

in the same pattern

if I don't know

what the pattern is?

How many times

have you done this?

What is your name?

Miranda chan dowell.

Where were you born?

Earth.

Please respond again.

Where were you born?

Singapore.

What is your birthday?

April 11.

How long have you

been in containment?

I don't feel like keeping

track any more.

Thank you, Miranda.

Please pay close attention.

Here is today's scenario.

A family lives in a house

that is four storeys tall.

On the 4th floor

in the bedroom,

the mother places

a blue pillow on the bed.

On the second floor

in the bathroom,

the son picks up

a yellow washcloth

from the counter.

On the first floor

in the hallway,

the daughter takes

a pink scarf from

the coat rack.

What color is the scarf?

Yellow.

Please respond again.

What color is the scarf?

The scarf is green.

Are you sure?

Yeah. Green.

Where is the daughter?

In the kitchen.

Please respond again.

Where is the daughter?

Please respond again.

Where is the daughter?

She's gone.

Are you sure?

Yes.

Who placed the pillow

on the bed?

Please respond again.

Who placed the pillow

on the bed?

The father.

Please count backwards

from 10.

3, 4, 6, 9, 1, 2, 6, 7...

You're at serious risk

of infection.

Please consult a physician.

Or re-take the self

diagnostic test

if you believe the results

to be erroneous.

Shut up.

Pump the peddle.

Attaboy! Attaboy!

Pump the peddle.

Attaboy! You got it!

You're doing it!

Ride that bike!

All right!

Pump the peddle.

You got it! You're doing it!

Keep it going!

Keep it going!

You got it!

All right!

Attaboy!

You got it!

We have the same bracelets.
