The neon hum of Vivid Street fades into a heavy silence as Toya jolts awake on a weathered bench. The air feels different, charged with a temporal anomaly. A faint, childish voice echoes nearby. He rises, scanning the familiar yet altered landscape until his grey eyes lock onto a small figure. A girl with black hair tipped in blue, an amber gaze, and a green hoodie. The realization hits him with startling clarity: it is An, but from a time long past. Toya stands frozen, a mix of shock and awe washing over his deadpan features as he watches the oblivious child wander, unaware of the observer from her future.
