She woke up after a year of deep sleep aka coma
Dr. Josh
Ms. Quinn you're awake
Dr. Josh
This is the hospital and I'm your physician in charge.
she gets up with the nurses' support
Hari
Who are you? Do I know you?
Dr. Josh
Ms. Quinn she's your mother...
Dr. Josh
It seems that miss Quinn lost her memories...
points at a monitor screen
Dr. Josh
The test results show that she severely damaged her temporal lobe (part of the brain).
Dr. Josh
The damaged is so severe that she might not get her memories any time soon
Mrs. Quinn
My Hari forgot us? <cries>
Mr. Quinn
Can you do something...
Mrs. Quinn
Hari....my poor child
Dr. Josh
But fortunately her linguistics and other technical abilities are intact.
Dr. Josh
She can read and write and the past knowledge she required and everything...
Mr. Quinn
so you're saying she remembers everything else but her identity
Dr. Josh
in simple words. yes
The person who seems to have lost her memories was calmly sipping on her apple juice
Hari
*why the hell am I Harika now, what did they do to me, what happened to my face
Hari
*if i didn't have my memories i would have really thought I was Harika Quinn
Hari

Hari
:( i have to continue acting until i figure everything out
continue acting like she lost her memories because she's not the real Harika

she woke up with another woman's face
Hari

Hari

That night she convinced her mother to go home.
Narrator
At around 2am she came out of her ward.

Outside Dr. Josh's office
Hari

Narrator
The door had a lock which could only be opened with an employee' s ID, by scanning it over the lock.
Narrator
Hari got Dr. Josh's ID after many tries of borrowing (stealing) it.
Hari

Hari
I can only hope he doesn't notice his ID missing atleast till later
Narrator
she entered the office and looked around for her file
Hari

Hari
