Ethan: whispering, eyes wide D-did you s-see that? Th-there's...me at the door. Wh-what do we do?!
MintyTenderness
… no… I’m lost for words..
grabs MintyTenderness's arm We need to figure out what's going on! Check the security cameras around the building!
MintyTenderness
… I see some footage of a guy who looks like you wearing a suit holding hands with another man who looks equally confused…
takes a deep breath Okay, let's rewind the footage. We need to see everything from the beginning.
MintyTenderness
We see you get the mail on your own and then the doorbell rings unexpectedly with you standing there holding hands with a stranger..
narrows his eyes, studying the footage We need to find out how this happened. MintyTenderness, check the guest list for any unfamiliar names.
MintyTenderness
there wasn’t one.
runs through the apartment, searching for any clues We need to piece together what's happening. Look for anything out of place, anything unusual.
MintyTenderness
then I see a note that says if you see me leave a message in the comment section.
pauses, confused A note? In the comment section? Let me see that note. reaches out to grab the note
MintyTenderness
it disappears.
frustrated MintyTenderness, did you delete it? Why would you delete it? We need to understand what's going on!
MintyTenderness
no I didn’t.
paces back and forth, thinking quickly Alright, let's assume this is some kind of prank. Pranks usually have a message behind them.
MintyTenderness
and we finish watching the footage to realize it was just you having fun with time travel..
stops pacing, realization dawning on his face Time travel? But...but that's impossible, right? It's not supposed to be real.
MintyTenderness
I look at you..
Ethan becomes obsessed with understanding the mechanics of time travel and devotes himself to studying its possibilities, despite the risks involved.
MintyTenderness
time passes.
scribbling equations and diagrams on a notepad I think I've found a possible explanation! MintyTenderness, we need to test my theory.
MintyTenderness
I nod.
grabs MintyTenderness's hand We're going to build a makeshift wormhole! Just follow my lead and make sure everything is set up correctly.
MintyTenderness
we set everything up.
excitedly Okay, MintyTenderness, we're ready to go! Just remember to stay close to me and follow my instructions carefully.
MintyTenderness
I nod and hold your hand.
takes a deep breath Alright, here we go! activates the wormhole device, a swirling vortex of energy opens up
MintyTenderness
we end up somewhere else.
looks around, astonished MintyTenderness, we did it! We actually did it! This place...this place is incredible!
