“I truly believe she should be expelled. How can we allow someone like that to continue practicing medicine and potentially harm others?”

“Don’t fret, Professor Rice will certainly deal with her. She’s just letting her flounder a bit longer before she’s finally brought down,” came the reassuring voice of another student.

“Professor Rice is incredible! We’ll always stand by you!” a third chimed in, their enthusiasm palpable.

Athena couldn’t help but smirk, a sarcastic twist to her lips as she dismissed Maya’s fervent declarations. Her mind buzzed with thoughts, a mixture of disbelief and amusement.

Everyone has their own supporters, she mused. Back in the days when she was still known as Serena, she had her own legion of admirers. It felt like a lifetime ago when she had a vibrant fan account, filled with messages of encouragement and admiration. Yet, after her quiet exit from that world, she had erased it all, logging off for good, leaving behind a digital ghost of her former self.

But on a whim, an unexpected urge tugged at her heartstrings, and she found herself logging back into that long-forgotten account.

She recalled her username with ease, but the password was a different story. It took several attempts, each one bringing back a wave of nostalgia mixed with frustration, until finally, she succeeded after five tries.

As she entered her account, her phone nearly froze under the weight of the flood of messages that greeted her.

Once the app settled down, Athena began to scroll through the deluge. Each message was a time capsule from eight years past—some were inquiries about her sudden disappearance, others were words of encouragement, and many were desperate pleas from those whose loved ones were suffering.

Staring at the screen, a wave of emotions washed over her. It was surreal, almost overwhelming. She had once embarked on this journey into medicine with the noble intention of saving lives, yet here she was, a shadow of her former self, unable to save even her own future.

But now, with a renewed sense of purpose, perhaps it wasn’t too late. Once the dust settled, she would reclaim her identity as Serena and use her skills to help those in need.

Her eyes glistened with unshed tears as she fought to contain the swell of feelings.

Navigating to her profile, she stumbled upon her last post from eight years ago—a poignant photograph captured during her final surgery. Her finger hovered over the screen, hesitating for just a moment before she decided to share a new message from her long-abandoned account.

“I’m back.”

With that simple declaration, Athena powered down her phone and slipped into the comforting embrace of sleep.

Tomorrow promised a crucial surgery, and she needed every ounce of energy she could muster.

Little did she know, her brief post was about to ignite a whirlwind of excitement online.

Once upon a time, Serena had been celebrated as a once-in-a-century medical genius. She had authored numerous groundbreaking medical papers and was revered as the brightest star in her generation—until she abruptly vanished, leaving a void that many sought to fill.

Some had yearned for her surgical expertise; others were motivated by their own personal reasons.
