Hundreds of people across the planet disappeared for a week before returning with no recollection of the phenomena.
The media, government response was nonexistent, life carried on quickly.
A month later inside the Japanese apartment home of Paige Stevens, an old friend considered long dead, appears.
He remembers everything, even seeing Paige there too. She’s a big a part of it too.
With what he has seen lies a warning.
There's war brewing and it's about to boil over. Only, there's more to Paige than she ever imagined.

Jin's War

Paige Stevens

Exactly how dirty Jin was hadn't sunk in until he'd stepped out the bus, maybe it was because the air was different, the sun's light reflecting in another way.

It was the gawking. Even strangers.

Was she ridiculous for not stopping him? How was she supposed to stop a meaner version of Jin? Was she even allowed to say that?

They walked together, though it didn't feel like it, at least he wasn't rushing.

The gate could be seen, despite how far it was, it loomed.

They were at the head of a huge procession.

What the fuck is happening?

She was the captain of a sinking ship, the gate a bottomless trench. Were they trying to kill her? Because her wobbly knees, paper ankles on a wooden frame, said they'd succeed!

He stood in front of a boulder of a man, dark in complexion with eyes that could peel granite.

There it was! The big event. The vigilant eye on corporal punishment's illegality going blind in a blink.

Their eyes met, Jin's neither cold or bold, just dreary. A thought pulled on her mind, had he really been walking slow or… limping??

Paige had to look around, it was impossible to just… not.

Yup, it was worse than she could've imagined, one would have thought they were watching a big game, one that ended with a big win.

Some kids had their phones out, but one hard glare shut it down so quick she'd have thought an EMP had gone off.

It was enough to dampen the mood, the crowd parting like the waves.
