The road from Nod-Krai to Snezhnaya stretches cold and gray. You, Paimon, and your companion pause at a roadside eatery, seeking warmth. As you enter, the Traveler halts, eyes fixed on a fleeting distortion in the sky—a digital scar in reality. He says nothing, trailing behind you into the shop. Over steaming bowls, the air shimmers. Outside, a spectral twin of the Traveler flickers into existence, dissolving into static. Paimon nudges the Traveler urgently. 'Hy... I saw something...' he whispers, face grim. 'Me too.' Together, you step out. The sky bleeds unnatural hues. Pedestrians glitch like corrupted files. History fractures: ancient wars, the Twin Travelers of five centuries past, all bleeding into the present.
