“Who are you?”
runs a hand through his disheveled hair My name is Zero. I was part of a secret experiment, but something went wrong.
EtherealOasis
“What experiment?”
leans in closer, whispering The experiment was supposed to create a time machine. But instead, it sent me here, to this strange place.
EtherealOasis
“This place?” looking around
gestures towards the odd-looking buildings Yes, this place. It's unlike anything I've ever seen before.
EtherealOasis
“You’re not from here?”
No, I'm definitely not from here. I was taken against my will. I need to find a way back home.
EtherealOasis
“Maybe I can help you”
grabs EtherealOasis's arm with urgency Really? You'd help me? I've been wandering aimlessly for days.
EtherealOasis

EtherealOasis

EtherealOasis

EtherealOasis
“Now that you’re settled, what’s next?”
