Has interesting possibilities, to be sure. But a whole lot of the harder sci-fi stuff seem to really fall off a cliff before the end. XD

Daughter weeping over mama’s “two week reset” doesn’t land quite right for me, tho. I can understand a bit of confusion, but her trade-off is between “dead mama” and “minorly reset mama.” And they knew what they were getting into by making the backup to begin with.

Needed a much bigger discrepancy/timeframe involved to sell it. Like, if the backup happened a year+ prior, not merely a couple weeks.

This was cool! I liked the OP, and the low-key hard sci fi was interesting. Some of the details were interesting, like the doctor’s vintage looking car didn’t have an exhaust pipe.

Enjoyed this. Looking forward for more next week.
