Skye is the Limit by Phenomenal Pen (detective books to read TXT) 📗

SKYE had done the same to Chul-Moo because, before the pro gamer was selected, he had in fact been contemplating the hard road of giving up the dream. All pro gamers were aware of their short shelf life and lived by the code of “Live Fast, Burn Out Young”. Without a college diploma to fall back on and having only slightly above-average gaming skills, he faced a dark future. Being slightly above-average could’ve been remedied but, as Athena had assessed, Chul-Moo was not a good team player. Fortunately, his high ImQ saved him.  

The fifth and last Imagineer was the only person SKYE was unable to change in any significant way. Her name was Jayla Griffiths and she had osteogenesis imperfecta (OI), more popularly known as the brittle bone disease. It was a rare genetic disorder that affected collagen production and caused bones to break with even the slightest injury.   

Although Jayla was already twenty-two years old she was only three feet tall and was bound to a fan-cooled pink electric wheelchair. She also wore a hearing aid because the bones in her inner ears suffered from deformities. She had a high voice and yellowish-brown weak teeth, which were partly the reason she spoke little and almost never smiled. The foremost reason was because she had experienced bullying and was called “Fra-Jayla”.

When she was an infant, she would cry whenever her mother or the nurses tried to touch her. Upon radiological examination, multiple fractures were detected inside her otherwise normal-looking body. At Sheffield Children’s Hospital, the Centre for Highly Specialised Severe, Complex and Atypical OI cases in England, it was found that Jayla’s phenotype exhibited not only bone fragility but also autistic traits. 

From then on, Jayla became acquainted with a whole world of pain, both physical and emotional; a wide spectrum of pain like a rainbow. And not the grade-school rainbow design on her pajamas either but the maximum number of colors that a trichromat human could see. The nurses should’ve asked on a scale of one to a million.

Both Mr. Chase and Mr. Spaulding knew that Jayla was the token charity case among the Imagineers. Though she worried about Jayla’s high-risk condition, Mr. Spaulding knew that picking her was good for CSR. Only Jayla knew why she decided to take the huge risk anyway but Mr. Spaulding silently celebrated that she did.
