I often wonder...
Am I truly alive, or is this some elaborate hallucination?
Did my parents and sister really die in that car accident?
Did I actually meet someone as extraordinary as Ephera?
Were those friendships I forged real, or just fleeting fantasies?
And if Ephera was real—did she really die?
Did I truly find myself transported into the world of that game? Into this body?
What about Cleenah and the others?
It all feels vividly real, no matter how fantastical or impossible it seems. But amidst it all, a single truth struck me: my memories are incomplete.
Something is missing—something vital.
Something that happened on Earth.
My fingers absently traced the bracelet Viessa had given me.
Was what I saw... the past? Or the future?
–BAM!
The sudden crash of splintering wood and crumbling walls jolted me from my thoughts.
"Where are you hiding?!" Rodolf growled.
