Just a few points to ponder before continuing on to the prologue. Although the prologue is -in essence- the beginning of the 'book', the story doesn't start there. In all actualities, it preludes with an illness that lasts for weeks on end, follows on through with Gabrielle Malak and her parents visiting a specialist and winds up with them being told that she has teratoma.

The prologue cuts straight to the day of the operation because most of what came before, during and after that scene has been already been wrote within the history section of the profile (located in the Line Up) with vague details. In short, reading the profile might allow for the story to be less confusing.
