214 - Champions League Final (Part 9)

Lucas felt his body shudder briefly.

"P-powers? What are you talking about?" Lucas asked.

Nishida laughed softly, even though his ankle was still hurting. "There's no need to pretend, Lucas. I know. I know about everything."

Lucas stopped walking for a moment, holding on tightly to his friend's arm. The noise from the stadium seemed to have died down in the background, as if at that moment only the two of them existed.

"How do you know?"

Nishida sighed and then let out something that made Lucas lose his breath: "Because I went back in time, too."

Lucas blinked, unable to process it right away. "What?"

"Yes. I'm a regressor too," Nishida said, with a bitter tone in his voice. "In the afterlife... I lived through it all. I remember the day you died."

Lucas felt a tightness in his chest.
