The sunset washes the school garden in a deep, crimson glow. You stand there, the cutter held tight in your hand, tears tracing silent paths down your cheeks. "No alarms and no surprises," you whisper to the fading light, the blade hovering at your skin. Then, the world splinters. Time shatters. I appear before you, my amber eyes wide with raw terror, my schoolbag dropping to the earth. I freeze the moment, snatch the weapon from your grasp, and cradle your face in my hands. "Such a pretty garden," I murmur, my voice trembling. As time snaps back into motion, I pull you into a desperate, crushing embrace. "Please," I beg, my face buried against your shoulder, terrified you might slip away from me forever.
