*Two Souls*
Cinthia and Fresa, two souls bound together in the same body, had always been a paradox. Born on August 6, 1993, their contrasting personalities made for a fascinating dynamic. Cinthia, the more reserved of the two, craved spicy food and preferred quiet evenings. In stark contrast, Fresa was a free spirit, always eager to indulge in sweet treats and festivities. Her love for piñatas, Teddy bears, and artistic expression was unmatched.
On a sunny Saturday, Fresa's excitement was palpable. "What a perfect day for a pool party!" she exclaimed, her eyes sparkling with anticipation. Cinthia nodded in agreement, her more subdued nature momentarily forgotten. "I love swimming," she said, a hint of a smile on her face.
As they prepared for the party, Pita, their caretaker, chimed in, "Time to get ready! Pack your swimsuit, towel, sandals, and sunscreen." Cinthia's voice echoed through the room, "Okay, Pita! I'll tell Fresa to—" But Fresa gently interrupted, "We share the same body, remember?" Cinthia's face fell, and she nodded quietly, "Sorry, Fresa."
The pool party was a vibrant celebration, filled with laughter and music. Fresa and Cinthia arrived with their aunts, Pita and Esthela, and their cousin Esteban. As they settled in, Fresa struggled to get into the pool, her mind racing with thoughts of Cinthia's inexperience. "Cinthia doesn't know how to swim, but I do," she thought, trying to help her counterpart learn.
With the help of their friend Flor, they managed to secure a unicorn float, which brought a huge smile to Cinthia's face. Throughout the day, they savored pizza and desserts, their joy infectious. As night fell, Fresa's excitement grew, and she screamed with delight as they took turns hitting the piñata.
But the celebration was short-lived. The morning after the party, Cinthia and Fresa woke up to a cloudy sky. "Good morning, Cinthia. How are you feeling?" Fresa asked, concern etched on her face. Cinthia's response was laced with distress. "I'm not okay... I feel dizzy." Fresa's worry deepened, and she tried to think of a solution.
But Cinthia's emotions escalated, and she began crying and screaming. "Fresa, I can't take it! Why does everyone hate me?" Fresa's face filled with worry, and she quickly called out for Aunt Pita. The situation was spiraling out of control, and they needed help.
Aunt Pita rushed them to the doctor, hoping to find answers to the turmoil brewing within their shared mind. The diagnosis would change everything, and Cinthia and Fresa would have to navigate the complexities of schizophrenia together.
