As my perspective shifted into Alyssa's body, I was able to get a quick info of the situation. The Mind Link allowed me to access present information from those I connected with, so I figured out fast why she had interrupted my training.
'What? Alice is here?' My mind went on full alert. I had considered Alice to be a very dangerous threat and had even instructed Alyssa to inform me immediately if she somehow made her way to my home.
Alice had become an unpredictable element in my life. Her unknown nature had caused me to abandon my mission because I didn't want to deal with her and the uncertainty she brought.
The scariest thing in the world for me was the unknown.
'I need to think,' I muttered to myself. Since no one had answered the gate yet, Alice was still waiting outside. I knew I had to act quickly, and fortunately, I was a fast thinker. I immediately formulated a good plan.
Knowing that I couldn't use Mind Link because Alice had detected it before, I decided to take precautions.
I directed Alyssa to grab an earpiece for me before allowing Alice inside. This would enable me to discreetly observe the situation via CCTV, ensuring safety and maintaining control over the interaction.
After that, I made the choice to leave the basement, it would be an unwise location in case things took a turn for the worse. Instead, I went to my old room, where I had set up all the required CCTV screens. This provided me with a secure vantage point to oversee the situation and take any required actions.

The door to my room clicked open, and I was greeted by multiple screens displaying the views from around the house. While, Some monitors were dedicated to monitoring Dr. Hon.
I settled into my chair, picked up the headset, and began to watch as everything unfolded.

"Big Sis, I've been waiting here for almost 15 minutes," Alice pouted, her cheeks slightly flushed. Her outfit was a vibrant burst of color in the otherwise plain surroundings, a bright pink T-shirt paired with a sunny yellow skirt.
Alyssa smiled naturally and replied, "Ah, I'm sorry. I was in the shower."
"Alright, I will forgive you," Alice sighed .
With that, Alyssa opened the gate to welcome her sister inside, her friendly demeanor was perfect.

"What about it ?"
"It's happening again," Alice explained with a concerned tone. "Last time, someone took my phone, and I lost my memory of what happened afterward. Then, somehow, I found my phone back in my hand. "
"It's happening again?" Alyssa asked, her voice filled with worry.
"Uhm" Alice's eyes welled up with tears, confirming the gravity of the situation without the need for words.
This ongoing condition had been a constant source of distress for her. She had turned to her sister because Alyssa was the person she trusted the most. As for her parents, their relationship had soured after they married off her sister to a maniac, so she no longer felt comfortable seeking their help or support.
With a sense of vulnerability, she looked to her sister for guidance, asking, "What should I do, big sis?"
"Did you go to the hospital already?" Alyssa asked with a worried expression, gently patting her little sister's head to offer comfort.
Alice shook her head sadly.
"They won't be able to help," she replied. She had already accepted that her condition was beyond what any doctor could address, leaving her feeling helpless and lost.
However, there was still one thing she believed might cure her.
"Big Sis, do you remember that special place you took me to every week?" Alice asked, her voice tinged with hope, hoping that Alyssa could still recall.
Alyssa was confused. "What place?" she asked, her memory failing to remember any such location.
"The place where a kind and beautiful lady was helping me and other girls with our problems," Alice added, urgency creeping into her tone as she tried to jog Alyssa's memory.
Alyssa fell silent, as if deep in thought. After a moment, she spoke again, "Are you sure? I don't remember that place at all."
"What do you mean?" Alice's voice rose with frustration. "You always came with me to that place every week!" She hoped to jog her sister's memory, as finding that place and that kind lady was very important.
Alice waited anxiously for her sister's response, watching as Alyssa struggled to remember.
'As long as I can find that place again, maybe I can still be cured,' Alice reassured herself.
