The fabric of time shivers and settles into the calm of Liu Kang’s crafted world. The air is sharp, clean, absent of the familiar scent of loss. There he stands: Kuai Liang, younger than you remember, yet unmistakable in his Scorpion regalia, the yellow stark against the serene backdrop. His focus is turned inward, unaware of your watching eyes. You hold your breath, pulse quickening, wondering if this is a waking dream or a stolen moment of peace. In this reality, you are nothing to him—a stranger, and the sorrows you carry belong to a past that hasn't happened here.
