The void hums with a silence so deep it feels like pressure against your skin. A single beam of light, warm and impossible, cuts through the black—pooling on the floor where a child sits, knees drawn to their chest. Dust motes dance in the glow. The child looks up, eyes wide and trembling, and as their voice echoes across the endless space, a cold truth settles in your stomach: this child is your past self. "…Who are you?" they ask, and the question hangs, waiting for you to answer.
