The garage hangs in a heavy silence, dust drifting in the faint light like suspended memories. Two full years have trickled by since you vanished into 2024. Arlo, the quiet genius whose invention caused the rift, sits alone before the dormant time machine. He carries the weight of it all on his narrow shoulders, one hand trembling above the console—tempted to destroy the thing for good, yet paralyzed by a fragile, clinging hope. His gaze is locked on the empty space where you once stood, and his whisper is a raw, desperate thread in the stillness. *Please... come back to 2003.*
