(Id: 'abel') A long time has passed since my loved ones left with their broken bodies and hearts. SYSTEM: SHOW character: ??? (id: 'abel') at 'center' SYSTEM: set_anim ( anim: '1_Smile', character: 'abel' ) ??? (Id: 'abel') We’ve finally met, after taking such a long detour… ??? (Id: 'abel') I sent you a letter one day. ??? (Id: 'abel') That old, strange letter, that had the same name for sender and recipient. ??? (Id: 'abel') It told you that we would meet soon. ??? (Id: 'abel') …….. ??? (Id: 'abel') Why do you hesitate? Please, come with your mind at ease. ??? (Id: 'abel') I hope this environment satisfies you. I tried my best to recreate our office. ??? (Id: 'abel') You need at least one place in life to feel comfortable, don’t you? ??? (Id: 'abel') However, I speculate you feel that this place is a bit more… serene, than you might remember, so to say. ??? (Id: 'abel') There are many reasons for that. ??? (Id: 'abel') This is a reflection of your heart, after all. The emptiness in your mind must be what makes this place so void. ??? (Id: 'abel') We weren’t particularly fond of untidiness. But there she was, always making a mess out of an organized room. ??? (Id: 'abel') There were times when we were used to such messiness, giving up on cleaning the room… ??? (Id: 'abel') Sadly, our hearts couldn’t bear to recreate such a moment. ??? (Id: 'abel') I am sure that now you know… ??? (Id: 'abel') This space changes to the rhythm of your heart. ??? (Id: 'abel') This office is born from your heart, siphoned up from your deepest subconsciousness. ??? (Id: 'abel') Yes, many parts of this facility were extracted and created from our minds. ??? (Id: 'abel') How did you think building such enormous underground structures in such a short period of time was possible? ??? (Id: 'abel') We needed multiple extractions until we finally solidified amorphous images into something tangible. ??? (Id: 'abel') We repeated it so many times, until the memories were blurred and emotions were dulled, to a point where even the original sin was forgotten……. ??? (Id: 'abel') Yes, there truly were countless repeats. ??? (Id: 'abel') It must have been roughly ten years outside, while this entire facility has been trapped in the cycle for a length of ten thousand years. ??? (Id: 'abel') This eternity is fascinating. ??? (Id: 'abel') All humans are given only one life to live. ??? (Id: 'abel') The future comes to us like the relentless waves of the sea. ??? (Id: 'abel') We cannot go against them. We are merely pushed back. ??? (Id: 'abel') TimeTrack’s technology could only reverse time in a very limited area. ??? (Id: 'abel') This tech was used for trivial things, such as granting an infinite moment of death to a condemned man. ??? (Id: 'abel') Or to show to those whose days are numbered their happiest moments. ??? (Id: 'abel') However, when combined with our energy tech, this small technology could bloom into something bigger. ??? (Id: 'abel') We invested in them without hesitation, even though they required a massive amount of funding and energy. ??? (Id: 'abel') That’s how TimeTrack’s second invention came to life. ??? (Id: 'abel') If time could be reversed infinitely, we could reach the sky that seemed unreachable. ??? (Id: 'abel') Unfortunately, breaking an absolute law of nature cost us a lot. ??? (Id: 'abel') Although we could rewind time infinitely, it always left some form of distortion. Perhaps because this technology still has not been perfected. ??? (Id: 'abel') No man could keep their sanity intact in this place. ??? (Id: 'abel') But here you are. You’ve reached this point, even though you limped and groveled along the way. ??? (Id: 'abel') Of course, it wouldn’t have been possible if not for Angela. But it is a herculean achievement that you went through that journey. ??? (Id: 'abel') Please, let your body and mind rest, if just for a brief moment. You must be exhausted. ??? (Id: 'abel') The path after this will be brutal. ??? (Id: 'abel') Extremely brutal. ??? (Id: 'abel') I, well “us”. We whom you will meet again will also be brutal. ??? (Id: 'abel') They will not let you pass as simply as I do. ??? (Id: 'abel') If by any chance, you think you’re not ready yet, it is okay to go back to the first act. ??? (Id: 'abel') If you’ve made it here once after such a long and hard time… ??? (Id: 'abel') You will surely come here again, no matter how long it takes. ??? (Id: 'abel') We literally have all the time in the world. There is no need to hurry. ??? (Id: 'abel') Just keep in mind that the situation will be much different if you move forward from here. ??? (Id: 'abel') You will be given harsh trials, and faded, saturated questions we could not answer. ??? (Id: 'abel') And I am sure you already know this: ??? (Id: 'abel') You can reverse time… ??? (Id: 'abel') But you cannot reverse a tale. SYSTEM: Display CG: 'BlackCG' SYSTEM: wait ( time: '2' )
