*JFK AEROPORT landade på tisdag morgon. Hon kom från Tokyo, bar en röd jacka och höll ett pass i handen. Passet såg ut som alla andra — med chip, hologram, stämplar. Men landet? Torenza. Ingen hade hört talas om det.

Gränsvakten rynkade pannan. “Var ligger Torenza?” frågade han. “Vid Kaukasus,” sa Bäretta, som om det var självklart. Men kartan visade inget. Ingen databas kände igen det. Ingen ambassad svarade.

Folk började filma. Videon spreds. Någon sa att hon kom från en annan dimension. Någon annan sa att det var ett konstprojekt. En tredje trodde på en konspiration.

Men Bäretta log bara. Hon sa inget mer. Hon satt tyst i ett väntrum, medan världen spekulerade.

Till slut kom svaret: Videon var gjord med AI. Passet var falskt. Bäretta fanns inte. Allt var en illusion.

Men ändå… Någonstans i människors tankar finns Torenza kvar. Och Bäretta — hon blev en saga. En påminnelse om hur lätt vi tror, hur gärna vi drömmer, och hur verkligheten ibland låtsas vara något annat.

Despite theories and curiosity around the story, it remains a fictional viral sensation rather than a real event.
