Race Against Time

A droplet of sweat rolled down Ori's face as he held the heart, wearing bloody gloves. Sadly, it was not an episode of a serial killer documentary but an experiment he was doing with the Amiens Family.

"You were born for this path, Oriole," said the head of the Amiens Family's daughter while staring at him with fascination. "Your research on living matter rivals ours, which will save countless people."

Oriole felt embarrassed that all of this research was to save himself in a different timeline. However, his death did not arrive because Arthur merged the timelines. So, in a sense, he saved him once again from death.

Life was indeed unexpected. As they were building Runera, Oriole saw the end of their journey in Alka and expected how it would end. The whole world knew the end of that battle. It seemed that everyone accepted their roles, even those who would die.
