Chapter 4: The Ritual
Determined to complete the ritual, Lily visited Sophie's house again. Sophie's father mentioned she was in the basement. Lily apologized for their argument and offered Sophie a juice laced with vomiting pills. As a gesture of reconciliation, she also accepted a juice from Sophie.
As they both drank their juices, the plot twist revealed itself—Lily fainted first. Sophie had not drunk her juice. When Lily woke up, she found herself in a pink, babyish room, with Sophie standing in front of her.
"You remind me of my sister who died a few years ago," Sophie said softly. "I want you to live with me and be my sister. Drink this water."
Lily was shocked but also saw this as an opportunity to live the wealthy life she had always envied. The ritual that Lily and her grandma planned was to make Sophie disappear and for Lily to take her place. But now, she could live with her best friend without the guilt of greedily taking Sophie's rich life. Without hesitation, she drank the water.

Nipah Virus
Nipah virus (NiV) is a virus that can cause illness in animals and people. It does not spread easily through casual contact. It was first identified in 1999 during an outbreak in pigs and pig farmers in Malaysia. NiV belongs to a family of viruses called Henipaviruses. Its natural hosts are fruit bats (also called flying foxes), which carry the virus without getting sick. When Nipah virus infects humans, it often causes a high fever and can affect the nervous system and breathing.

~ Fired ~
— Ai Intrusion ~ Are you Next ~ Is Ai Evolution after your job? — Few workplaces haven't been affected. Ai is in supermarkets, at doctors' offices, and even monitoring farms. I just can't think of anything this machine is not getting into, can you? For instance: Education ~ Law and Tech jobs will one day have a major influence or be taken over by these inanimate machines, with accuracy and vigor. From mechanics' diagnoses to a wide variety of everyday jobs, including fast food workers, with this input having the ability to cut their unnecessary work hours. I'm certain all of us have been touched by this with our short stories and colorful headings, have you? Even comments are very questionable 'Non-Robot' insertions.
