🕯️ Opening Scene – The Quiet Before
The morning after the collapse of Timeline 1365625 felt… new.
The skies weren't burning.No timelines cracked open in the corners of KentarĹŤ's eyes.No memory echoes, no glitches, no Chronos pulses.
Just sunlight.Just her.
Sarah stood barefoot in the kitchen, humming to herself — a different song this time. Not the same loop as before.
"What is this world?" KentarĹŤ whispered to himself.
A world they created.
He didn't remember the transition.Only that she had chosen him. Again. Despite everything.
And that somehow… that was enough to make something real.
⏳ Scene 1 – Reika's Final Signal
The memory crystal around his neck pulsed just once.
It hadn't reacted since the collapse.
He clicked it open — not even sure if it still worked — and a blue holographic image flickered:
Reika.
"If you're seeing this… it means you made it to the final branch."
"But the Watchers aren't gone. Not all of them."
"One remains."
Her image flickered, her voice static-ridden:
"The Final Watcher is not like the others. It does not observe. It chooses. It judges."
"It's not coming to fix time. It's coming to decide who deserves to live in it."
The signal cut off.
KentarĹŤ looked toward Sarah, still humming softly.
And for the first time in this timeline… he felt afraid.
🌌 Scene 2 – A Visitor Who Doesn't Belong
It started with a knock.
Not loud. Not frantic. Just one knock.
KentarĹŤ opened the door slowly.
No one.
Except a white envelope lying neatly on the doormat.
There was no name.No address.No seal.
He opened it.
Inside was a blank card — until he tilted it.
Then faint ink appeared:
"You're not supposed to be here."
And below it, scrawled:
"The Final Watcher has entered this world."
🧍 Scene 3 – The Man in the Train Station
Kentarō saw him for the first time that afternoon — across the platform at the local train station.
A man in all black, standing perfectly still.No bag. No phone. No movement.Just… watching.
People passed him without noticing.As if he wasn't even there.
Only Kentarō could see the faint silver circle glowing on his palm — the symbol of Chronos.
"He's already here," KentarĹŤ muttered. "And he's watching us both."
He turned and ran home.
🌑 Scene 4 – Who the Final Watcher Really Is
That night, KentarĹŤ had a dream.
He stood in a hallway filled with clocks.All ticking out of sync.
And at the far end stood the Watcher.
This time, the Watcher spoke.
"You broke the loop. That is commendable."
"You created a timeline from love. That is rare."
"But this world is unstable."
KentarĹŤ stepped forward. "It's ours. You don't get to judge it."
The Watcher tilted its head — face featureless, voice layered.
"You are correct. I don't. She does."
🩶 Scene 5 – Sarah, Remembered Too Much
KentarĹŤ woke up gasping.
Sarah sat beside him. Pale. Shaking.
"I remembered everything."
Tears fell from her eyes. Not one version — all of them.
Her death.His death.The rooftop.The apple stand.YĹ«to's disappearance.Daichi's betrayal.Reika's sacrifice.Every version of "I love you" that ended in goodbye.
"I didn't want to. But I can't stop it."
"It's the Watcher, isn't it?" KentarĹŤ said. "It's testing if we can stay together even with the memories."
Sarah looked up.
"It's not just testing me…"
"It's offering me a choice."
⚖️ Scene 6 – The Choice That Will End Everything
Sarah led Kentarō back to the rooftop — the same one from their university days.
The world began to crack subtly in the corners of the sky — like digital seams struggling to hold shape.
The Watcher stood at the edge.
No face. No name. Just the echo of time itself.
It spoke:
"Do you accept this timeline… as the one you choose to live in? Knowing all that was. And all that could have been?"
Sarah squeezed KentarĹŤ's hand.
"What happens if I say no?"
"Then time resets. No memory. No love. You return to the original timeline. The one before the apples. Before him."
KentarĹŤ didn't speak.
He just looked at her.
"And if I say yes?" Sarah asked.
"Then this world becomes fixed. Immutable. No more loops. No more second chances. One life. One end."
💔 Scene 7 – The Watcher Waits
Sarah trembled. Tears streamed freely now.
"All my lives have ended in losing you."
"What if this one does too?"
KentarĹŤ stepped forward, forehead against hers.
"Then we let it hurt. But we let it be real."
"And that's the only future I want."
💫 Final Scene – The Light of a Chosen World
The Watcher extended its hand.
Sarah reached toward it — but instead, took Kentarō's.
The Watcher's form flickered… then vanished.
The cracks in the sky sealed.The train station man disappeared.The clocks stopped ticking.
Time… stopped watching.
And finally, they were free.
