There was a table.
Plain.
Old.
Real.
Kai sat before it with a fresh sketchbook in his hands.
Its pages glowed softly—blank, but alive.
There were no voices now.
No system alerts.
No magical doors or collapsing realms.
Just him.
And the weight of choice.

He opened the book.
Page one.
Still white. Still unmarked.
His fingers hovered.
The pen was there again. Not given—returned.
> "Not everything needs to be written," he whispered.
"Some things… just need to be known."
And so he didn't draw a new world.
He wrote a sentence.
Just one.
> "This time, I remember."
---
The book closed itself.
And disappeared.
But in its place—
Another appeared.
Then another.
And another.
Until the table was surrounded by sketchbooks.
All of them—stories waiting to be born.
