The Unseen Tether

Upon arriving at the university, he sat on a park bench as usual, lost in memories of the past. He began to blame himself for those miserable moments and the time he had squandered, overwhelmed by a deep desire to cry over what he had lost! And that's exactly what happened; tears flowed from his eyes like an unending waterfall, and he began to weep uncontrollably.

Suddenly! His crying was interrupted by the sound of the university bell, and students began pouring out! The sound of the bell and the sight of students struck his heart deeply, intensifying his grief and sorrow. As he watched the smiling students leave the university, it was a profoundly sad scene for him! He felt as though life was unfair to him alone! Those students had a future and a life to live! "While I will remain forever trapped in my place!"

As he scanned the faces of the students one by one, suddenly! He saw someone he recognized! Someone he knew well! Wait, it was him! He saw another "Hazel." He fell off the bench, struggling to comprehend what was happening! It was a terrifying sight! He continued to watch, but discovered strange things; it was as if this student was an old version of "Hazel"! His left arm was intact and not severed, which meant he hadn't had the car accident yet!!

"Hazel's" crying intensified wildly as he gazed at himself; he couldn't do anything! When that student vanished, "Hazel" sat back on the bench, trying to grasp what had just occurred, even though it was beyond his understanding. What he noticed was that this boy was indeed "Hazel" himself, but as if from the past? But did this mean he had returned to the past?! But how could this happen while he was still in his own world?! Was it due to telepathy?! Or a temporal distortion?! And did this prove the truth of "Scath," who is me from the future as well?! ... These waves of questions continued to toss him from one place to another, without providing answers.

Suddenly, he felt immense fatigue and drowsiness! He decided to take a sedative and sleep! He took the sedative, consumed five pills, and lay back on the bench this time, attempting to sleep!

…

He opened his eyes to find himself screaming as he fell from the sky toward the earth at tremendous speed! As he neared the ground, he felt the weight of terror creeping into his mind, taking control of every inch of his consciousness. He tried to think and regain his balance, but to no avail. Suddenly, he crashed violently into the ground!! His troubled insides exploded like floating stars in the sky, and his hot blood flowed like a raging river. His flesh fibers tore apart, his bones shattered, and his limbs scattered! As he sank into a sea of torment, the fires of pain ignited in every cell of his body! His screams tore through the sky. In the embrace of this intense pain, he released a cry that filled the void, consuming everything around him, until everything faded away…

The scene shifted rapidly! He found himself screaming as he fell from the sky toward the earth at tremendous speed! As he neared the ground, he felt the weight of terror creeping into his mind, taking control of every inch of his consciousness. He realized he was reliving the same scene from his previous dream, which meant that the sedative had not worked! Or perhaps he had taken the wrong sedative! He tried to think and regain his balance, but to no avail. Suddenly, he crashed violently into the ground!! His troubled insides exploded like floating stars in the sky, and his hot blood flowed like a raging river. His flesh fibers tore apart, his bones shattered, and his limbs scattered! As he sank into a sea of torment, the fires of pain ignited in every cell of his body! His screams tore through the sky. In the embrace of this intense pain, he released a cry that filled the void, consuming everything around him, until everything faded away…

The scene shifted rapidly again! He found himself screaming as he fell from the sky toward the earth at tremendous speed! As he neared the ground, he felt the weight of terror creeping into his mind, taking control of every inch of his consciousness. "Hazel" felt as if he had been imprisoned again in this endless loop! He would relive the same suffering forever! He tried to think and regain his balance, but to no avail. Suddenly, he crashed violently into the ground!! His troubled insides exploded like floating stars in the sky, and his hot blood flowed like a raging river. His flesh fibers tore apart, his bones shattered, and his limbs scattered! As he sank into a sea of torment, the fires of anguish ignited in every cell of his body! His screams tore through the sky. In the embrace of this intense pain, he released a cry that filled the void, consuming everything around him, until everything faded away… The scene shifted again and again and again! As he repeated the same suffering and pain, he knew that the only solution was to await the appearance of "Scath"!

He continued to spin in that bitter vortex. But suddenly! This time, he found himself suspended in the air! Just a few meters separated him from the ground! He froze in mid-air like a statue! After all those long years of repeating this horrific dream, his only desire was to change the agony; he didn't care if it was more brutal, he just wanted the pattern of pain to change! He could no longer endure this scene again... His thoughts were interrupted by the sudden appearance of a mysterious figure out of nowhere! He materialized in his dark thirties, wearing sunglasses that reflected his mystery, dressed in a black suit that enveloped his entire body, with long folds cascading smoothly, and with his left ear severed. His appearance was extremely suspicious and enigmatic.

"Hazel" quickly realized that this was the moment of salvation with the reappearance of the mysterious "Scath"!
