Chapter 511
Camille
To fulfill a profound longing for human connection, your mind created a human entity real enough to truly comfort you. Your brain stores thousands of background faces, and you 'borrowed' one of these faces without consciously remembering the person.
That is what the internet said.
I stare at the screen of my phone, the glow illuminating my face in the dark bedroom. The words blur slightly, my eyes tired.
So the logical explanation is that I may have crossed paths with the real Daphne at some point in my life, and created this whole version of her for myself.
I suppose it makes sense.
I could bring this up to Dr. Wilson at our next session.But I don't want to think about it.
It's just that... when she held my hand today, it was real and warm. Not like the dreams. Not like the cold, empty space of my own mind.
The actual person—the real Daphne Han,is probably different from my Daphne.
And maybe spending time with her will make me realize that.
