Kara and Alice have been in Canada for a month. They are rebuilding a new life, but they must hide their android status. Alice goes to school and has made friends, much to Kara's delight.
"But remember," Kara had told her, "you mustn’t pierce your skin or they will see your blue blood."
Alice has always been very careful and Kara is always happy to see her come home from school all smiling. But for a while now, the child seems to be hiding something from her. Kara has confronted her about it before, but Alice has never wanted to tell her anything. One day, Alice calls Kara "Yori".
"Yori? Alice, who's Yori?"
"She's nobody!"
"Alice, I don't like when you lie to me. Who is Yori?"
"She's a new student from Russia."
"ALICE! Please stop lying to me!"
Alice starts to cry and Kara sighs.
"Alice... what are you hiding from me?"
Alice continues to cry, then she says that Yori is not dangerous.
"Okay, but who—?"
"Yori is a program. She helped the digitizing laser operate and was in charge of creating digital simulations. Yori... She's in you, Kara!"
"What!?!"
"I swear! We talk a lot. She was... she was controlling you."
"Was she? When and how? I scan myself often and never detect anything abnormal."
"When you sleep and when you recharge."
Kara can't believe it. It can't be, but there's one way to know for sure.
"All right. Alice, show me Yori in a memory."
Alice makes her artificial skin disappear from her hand and places it on Kara's. Her memory data is shared.
Suddenly, Kara sees through Alice's eyes. She sees herself, but her behavior is strange. Kara talks to Alice, but she says strange things.
"Where am I? Am I not derezzed? Who are you?"
"Kara? Is everything okay?"
"Kara. I'm not Kara. I am Yori. Where's Tron?"
Alice's memory ends. She takes her hand away from Kara.
"See? Yori is not dangerous. We're just talking, she and I."
"I... see..."
Kara is in shock, but she doesn't show it to Alice. Yori. Who is she? Where is she from? Who is Tron? Kara will have to find out.
