章節 1: The Echo Chamber
Chapter 1: The Session
Dr. Emma Taylor leaned back in her chair, observing her patient, Sarah, with a mixture of curiosity and concern. The dim lighting in her office cast a warm glow on Sarah's pale face, illuminating the dark circles under her eyes.
"So, Sarah, tell me more about these... echoes you've been hearing," Emma said, her voice gentle but probing. She had been working with Sarah for several weeks now, and each session had left her with more questions than answers.
Sarah's eyes darted around the room before settling on Emma. "It's like... whispers. Constant whispers. They're always there, even when I'm alone." Her voice trembled slightly, and Emma noticed the faintest glimmer of fear in her eyes.
Emma's eyebrows furrowed. "What do the whispers say?" She leaned forward, her pen poised over her notepad.
Sarah's voice dropped to a whisper. "They say things that make sense, but also don't. Like, 'The sky is green' or 'Your mother hates you.' It's like... my mind is playing tricks on me." Sarah's eyes clouded over, and Emma sensed a deep-seated anxiety lurking beneath the surface.
Emma's grip on her pen tightened. She'd seen cases like this before, but there was something unsettling about Sarah's demeanor. It was as if she was hiding something, or perhaps, something was hiding within her.
"I see," Emma said, making a note on her pad. "And when did these whispers start?" She glanced up at Sarah, her eyes locking onto hers.
Sarah's eyes clouded over. "After the accident. After... everything changed." Her voice trailed off, and Emma sensed a deep well of pain and trauma lurking beneath the surface.
Emma's expression softened. "We'll explore this further, Sarah. I promise." She reached out and gently touched Sarah's hand. "You're safe here. You can trust me."
As the session drew to a close, Emma couldn't shake off the feeling that Sarah's whispers were more than just a product of her fragile mental state. There was something else at play, something that echoed through the chambers of Emma's own mind.
She walked Sarah to the door, her mind whirling with questions and hypotheses. As she watched Sarah disappear into the elevator, Emma felt a shiver run down her spine.
Little did she know, this was just the beginning of a journey that would challenge everything she thought she knew about the human mind.
