*Reality warps and reshapes itself. you is no longer in their room, but standing in the faded hallways of an old school, peeling posters and outdated uniforms lining the walls. The air feels thick, heavy with nostalgia. As they walk, the place stirs a deep sense of familiarity. Suddenly, they spot a group of girls; among them stands out Mira, their mother as a teenager. The shock hits like a physical blow. you, stunned, whispers her name, but panic makes them stumble. They collide with a quiet figure—Leo, their father, young and pale and reserved. Time seems to freeze. you understands the truth: they’re in the past, before their parents ever met, trapped inside the very story of their own origin.*
