Emily and her sister both fell into the water at the same time.

Their parents chose to save Ashley, letting Emily drown.

When she awoke again, she had been reborn into the body of Emily Johnson, the daughter of the Johnson family who had drowned.

Originally, she thought their lives would never intersect again, but when college started, she saw Ashley once more.

Ashley was boasting about how her parents favored her, abandoning her sister.

Her sister's existence was merely a backdrop for her.

She was a strong swimmer, and her parents knew it.

Given that, Emily realized she had nothing to cling to anymore.

So this is what drowning feels like.

The water slowly covered her mouth and nose, flooding her nostrils, stripping her of the right to breathe, while her consciousness remained clear, feeling the pain.

The instinct to survive made her struggle incessantly.

However, the lack of oxygen rendered all her efforts futile.

In this extreme agony, her consciousness began to blur.

In the final moments before death, she felt a strange sense of relief.

It was finally over; she no longer had to suffer so much.

The current blurred the last traces of her vision.

Not far from her, on the shore, her parents and sister were embracing, crying and laughing as they savored the joy of surviving the ordeal.

…

She had died.

Then she was alive again.

After her consciousness returned from the darkness, she saw the excited faces of unfamiliar men and women around her.

"Emily, you finally woke up! Don't scare your mom!"

"Are you feeling okay? Don't do this again. Whatever it is, Mom will help you get through it."

A woman rushed over and hugged her, sobbing as she repeated these phrases into Emily's ear.

Emily was bewildered, letting the woman hold her without understanding what had happened.

Who is Emily? Where is this?

Hadn't she died?

Her gaze scanned the hospital room, landing on a man standing aside, restraining his emotions.

She was certain she didn't know these two people.

They claimed to be her parents, but her real parents would never have been overjoyed or tearful at her rescue.

An absurd thought began to form in her mind.

The woman who claimed to be her mother finally let go of her.

She looked a bit haggard; although her demeanor and attire were once gentle and refined, now she appeared somewhat disheveled.

Emily looked at her, silently keeping her mouth closed.

Fortunately, the two assumed she was silent due to physical reasons, so they didn't respond intentionally.

Following the principle of "say less to avoid mistakes," Emily spent the day merely responding politely or smiling.

During a break to use the restroom, she quickly glanced in the mirror.

Sure enough, she had been reborn.

But not into her own body; instead, she was in the body of a completely unfamiliar person.

She raised her hand and touched this strange face, feeling uneasy and restless.

That night, lying on the bed, she thought all night long about her current situation.

The next day, upon meeting the Johnsons again, she decisively smiled and said, "Um... I think I might have amnesia."
