[Today I’ve seen something truly incredible: first swapping husbands, then swapping children, and then bombing a school!]
[Have I stumbled into some folkloric storytelling session? The world is vast, full of bizarre and incredible things!]
[But these are just the wealthy lady’s speculations; no one can prove it!]
[Besides, if Julian had a skin graft, what about Claire? Claire is standing there perfectly fine.]

Hearing all this, I felt a profound sense of powerlessness. I had truly been reborn for nothing. Aside from hiding in the psychiatric institution, I had done absolutely nothing. But I was also curious: where did that fake Claire come from?
Ms. Veronica merely smiled, saying nothing, determined to keep everyone in suspense. Only when the crowd gradually quieted and the live stream comments furiously urged Ms. Veronica to continue did she speak.
“Aren’t you curious why Julian was subjected to a full–body skin graft, while Claire stands here perfectly fine, and yet another fake Claire could appear? Because as technology advanced, it became possible to use synthetic skin instead of real human skin.”
An eerie silence fell over the scene. Everyone’s mouths hung open, their eyes wide, each person thoroughly shocked. Suddenly Eleanor let out a scoff, breaking the uncanny atmosphere.
“Veronica, Veronica! You’ll say anything to clear Claire’s name, won’t you?”
The onlookers also felt something was amiss. They murmured amongst themselves. “This is too unfathomable!” “There’s no such thing in the world!”
But Ms. Veronica clapped her hands, and a person who looked exactly like me walked out. Everyone present gasped. “Holy her This is absolutely insane!” I swallowed hard, my limbs felt frozen. I walked closer to examine her; she really did look exactly li me. Even the mole on her face was in the same spot.
