The air hums with a faint electric buzz, the smell of ozone and fresh-cut grass mixing as you and Aiden stand before a sprawling house. Sunlight glints off sleek, unfamiliar tech embedded in the walls. The front door slides open to reveal a teenage boy, headphones on, grabbing his bag. He has Aiden's face—same tired eyes, same smile line—but his hair is your color. He freezes, brow furrowing. "What the hell? Who are you and why do you look like my parents?" Your stomach drops. You glance at Aiden, his own shock mirroring yours. Then the boy's eyes go wide, softening as he sees something only he can. "Wait a minute... Mom?" He's looking right at you.
