2071 -- A standardized implant allows users to filter their reality, replacing unwanted memories with new ones, and modifying a users life-experience in real-time to match. When a network glitch causes Mina to experience conflicting memories, she begs a hacker (Cole) to remove the implant from her neck. At first, Cole refuses to help - claiming that she failed the initial diagnostic test. But their conversation soon reveals there is a personal tie and buried resentment between these two. Mina shares that for years she'd used the implant to rewrite the memory of her daughter's death, and must now prove to Cole that she can come to terms with her grief. Cole ultimately decides to help her, but when the implant's security protocol kicks in, the software overwhelms Mina's senses and presents itself as her dead six-year-old daughter - asking her to allow her to stay.
