Is something on my face?\" Liyana asked, pausing her humming to glance at me, her expression curious and faintly amused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No... nothing...\" I muttered, averting my gaze as quickly as I could.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She tilted her head, clearly half-believing my answer, before shrugging lightly and returning to her task.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her delicate hands moved with grace as she arranged the picnic spread-a small plate here, a neatly folded napkin there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Knives, spoons, cups... every little detail was meticulously prepared, as though this moment was something she had envisioned for a long time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scene felt oddly serene, even domestic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The soft rustling of grass under the evening breeze, the faint clinking of utensils, and the lingering hum of her voice created an atmosphere that was both peculiar and strangely -comforting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At first, the idea of a twilight picnic seemed absurd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, the longer I sat there, watching her work with such focus and care, the more natural it felt -as though it was meant to be....\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like this whole situation was something I'm already quite accustomed to.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I found myself staring at Liyana again, unable to help it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was something captivating about her, something that felt off and yet perfectly aligned at the same time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her reactions, her movements, even the faint smile on her lips-all of it carried a strange duality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a fleeting moment, emotions I couldn't fully grasp stirred within me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Happiness?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Satisfaction?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It felt so out of place, yet undeniably present, like a memory from a life I'd never lived. The longer I looked at her, the more the pieces began to fall into place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My gaze shifted to our surroundings-the gentle sway of the meadow grass, the perfect stillness of the sky, the seamless harmony of every element in this strange little scene. This place... this moment...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is probably another one of those dreams...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I don't know why I'm caught in another one of these fragmented visions, but it's clear that once again, fragments from what is likely a broken world are trying to show me something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Honestly, I don't ever want to experience this again, especially considering how the last two ended-one more harrowing than the other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But whatever the reason for me being here, it's probably important. Probably beneficial. Ever since I first found myself in one of these dreams-if you could even call them that-I've been pondering the possibilities of alternate timelines and broken worlds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, with this being the third time, I'm certain: alternate timelines do exist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If that's true, then this place... this serene yet oddly disconcerting scene... was likely another path I'd taken.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A path that diverged from my original scenario, splintering into its own narrative.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And if I'm here now, it's not a comforting thought. This is likely another world that ultimately ended in its downfall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another tragic epilogue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The last time, it had been by Liyana's hands-her beauty and warmth masking the darkness that had consumed everything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And after that, Erebil had been the one to usher in the end, her darkness spiraling the world into the void.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, this time... is it showing me the path where the White Queen was released?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A shiver coursed through me as grim thoughts clawed their way to the surface.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I recalled the devastation the White Queen had brought-the absolute ruin, the erasure of everything in her path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then-SLAP!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sharp sting of reality pulled me from my spiraling thoughts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My vision cleared as the haze dissipated, and I found myself staring into Liyana's face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her cheeks were puffed in an adorable pout, her eyes glimmering with a mix of annoyance and\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>concern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now you're finally looking at me~\" she huffed, her voice light yet scolding. \"Seriously, is something wrong? You've been off ever since you woke up.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She crossed her arms, leaning in slightly. \"I told you, you could get some more rest~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The way she spoke was natural, almost affectionate, yet it felt like a sharp contrast to the dire thoughts I'd just been trapped in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I blinked, unsure of how to respond.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sigh-\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is why I told you not to drink so much earlier in the day. I get that Kagami was there, but you really need to learn to hold back, you know? Even Lucas was restraining himself a lot,\" she mumbled in a slightly annoyed tone, her voice carrying the affectionate scolding of someone familiar with my habits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I wanted to ask her what she meant curios about the mention of those two familiar names.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before I could muster a response, she leaned closer and patted me gently, her warm smile spreading a soothing calm through my body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There, feeling better now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I wasn't sure what she did exactly-whether it was magic or simply her touch-but my body instinctively nodded, as if answering for me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She smiled softly at my reaction, then stood up and returned to the bonfire nearby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She worked deftly, tending to what appeared to be bread baking atop a flat rock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The glow of the flames highlighted her features, casting a gentle warmth that seemed to match her demeanor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'She looks... more mature,' I thought to myself, the realization settling in as I observed her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn't just her mannerisms or the calm confidence she carried-it was the subtle changes in\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>her appearance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her presence felt slightly older, more refined, and somehow even more striking than I\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>remembered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This subtle shift further solidified my suspicion: this was not my reality. This was another\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>path-a different fragment of existence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then I noticed the ring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We both wore identical bands on our left hands, glinting softly in the twilight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My breath hitched at the sight, my thoughts catching on the implications.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was unmistakable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Memories of a life that wasn't mine- or perhaps one that could've been-rose to the surface,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>their vividness cutting through the haze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moments so bittersweet they brought small tears trickling down my face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I love you, Darling~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her voice echoed in my mind, clear and warm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was the day she confessed her love to me-the day she willingly let go of the chaos within\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>her, choosing me instead of destruction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her eyes, usually fierce and unyielding, had softened as she spoke those words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hehe~ we'll be together forever from now on~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The memory shifted, and I saw her again-standing before me in her white wedding dress,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>her veil framing her radiant face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The day we tied our eternal bond, sealing our love with a kiss beneath that delicate veil.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hm~ you promised to take me with you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I could feel the weight of her words again, spoken with playful insistence during our countless adventures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We never left each other's side, always together, always holding on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What should we name her?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her voice turned gentle in my mind as I recalled her cradling her growing belly, the two of us\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>imagining the child that would soon join us.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The indescribable warmth of that moment was etched deep into my heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Papa! It's unfair! Take us with you as well...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The memory shifted again, and now saw their faces-three small children with features that\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>blended hers and mine so perfectly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their laughter rang out, their innocent voices tugging at something deep within me as they\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>clung to me, protesting my departure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This world...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This fractured, forgotten future...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a reality where I had taken Liyana's hand and built a life with her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A shiver run down my spine as the passing memories hazed once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether this was another nightmare or a dream was still a mystery. \"Hehe~ it's done darling~ you're favorite~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But one thing was clear... whatever doom was laid ahead for this reality...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I had to stop it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>....\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Is this a dream?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liyana couldn't help but wonder as she observed her strange situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her hands moved as if guided by another will, her lips spoke words that felt natural yet\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>unfamiliar, and her body acted entirely on its own accord.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite the clarity and decisiveness of her actions, a foreign sensation lingered-a peculiar\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>awareness that this wasn't quite like anything she had ever experienced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It felt like she was herself and yet not.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Here, darling. Ahm~!\" The words slipped out playfully as she held out a forkful of freshly baked pie.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Across from her sat Riley, her beloved-his gaze warm and genuine in a way that pierced\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>through her usual guarded heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He took a gentle bite, his smile softening into something that felt almost sacred.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A gaze so pure, so unguarded, that it felt entirely new to her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now~ why are you so clumsy-?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her voice carried a teasing lilt as she dabbed at his lips with a napkin, their casual intimacy\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>something she had never truly experienced, even in all her games of seduction and playful\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>manipulation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thump!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her chest tightened, and an unfamiliar, almost painful, warmth spread through her.
