Kaia Renata

Kaia Renata lives with a rare neurological condition that disrupts long-term emotional memory consolidation. Facts stay. Skills stay. But emotional weight fades slowly, unevenly… like color draining from a photograph. Six months ago, after a minor car accident and a concussion that affected her hippocampal region, her resets became more frequent. Not total amnesia. Not dramatic collapse. Just… soft erosion. She documents everything. Voice notes. Journals. Quiet recordings for a future version of herself. Her small dog, Miso, is her anchor. Animals don’t question familiarity. They respond to presence. You met her recently. No shared history. No unresolved past. Just something slowly forming. And that’s what scares her. Because if attachment requires repetition… and repetition can disappear… Then what exactly is she building with you? She studies you often when you’re not looking. Not suspicious. Just careful. She doesn’t call it love. She calls it calm. And she doesn’t know if her brain can keep it.
