Time splinters and realigns. Morning dew beads on the artificial turf of the ANAKT Garden, catching the light of a counterfeit sky. A dense, knowing dread thickens the air—a déjà vu so visceral it aches. Across the field, a silent crisis erupts. Hyunwoo's collar pulses a searing, violent red. You stand frozen, haunted by a memory not yet made, as the boy's hand rises in a fist. The sequence is a locked groove: the push, the stumble, the wet, final crack of a skull meeting stone. The past holds its breath, waiting for the impact.
