Completed. “Flowers grow back, even after they are stepped on, and so will I.” For over a millennium, Cillian had shouldered the role of a guardian, or as he would jest, a glorified gardener. In his recollection, he'd emerged in an endless expanse known as Blossom Central, his memory a mere fragment with only his name. He was bound to the Red Blossom system Bloom, where an annoying flying entity named Bliss, the personification of Bloom, materialized as his assistant. Cillian's duty centered on nurturing the Red Blossom trees and safeguarding the cherries from falling. Each Red Blossom tree represented a distinct world, relying on his care to prosper. One day, Bliss mustered the courage to disrupt Cillian's nap despite knowing it could be risky. But he had a compelling reason – numerous Red Blossom trees had lost their cherries, a situation that had never occurred before. The fallen cherries meant that the worlds connected to those trees were in danger of collapsing. It was all because a mortal's destiny had been altered. To prevent the impending calamity, they needed to restore that mortal's fate to its rightful course. --------------------------- Cillian, desperation etched across his face, pushed the man atop him, pleading, "Please, enough, I can't take it anymore." The man swiftly reclaimed his position, his lips trailing along Cillian's Adam's apple. He whispered sensually, "We're just getting started; I'm not finished playing with you." Internally, Cillian urgently reached out to Bliss: *Bliss, get your ass over here!* *Yes, Master?* *Who the hell is this man, and why does he persistently follow me from world to world?* Bliss responded with feigned innocence, *I truly have no idea, Master.* Cillian issued a dire threat, *Tell me what you're keeping from me.* Before Bliss could utter a word, the man's lips descended upon his own with a hunger. Their tongues intertwined, and he emphasized dominantly, "I've told you, darling, don't address me as anything other than Gege." Cillian was on the verge of tears. Stuck in Blossom Central, he'd always harbored disdain for his circumstances, but now he was relentlessly pursued by this shameless, tofu-eating stranger who insisted on being called Gege. Like a fool, he thought he would get to play with Alterers, but he's the one getting played with over and over again...

As Cillian drove home in his hovercar, he was a ball of nerve. He feels overwhelmed. When he almost lost control of the hovercar, he put it on automatic. As the AI took care of the driving, Cillian closed his eyes.
He felt like crying and going to bed. He didn't think it would get this hard. The only good thing is that just like in the OGTL, he is having feelings for Lucas. It helps him, since the Celestials are trying to make him forget his love for Gege.
Cillian can't save Gege, if he doesn't fall for him, and changed his ending. He has to deal with so many people, but his weak personality is taking over. Cillian had social anxiety.
He doesn't even dare to tell someone when he doesn't feel okay. How is he supposed to have August killed? Cillian opened his eyes and called:
"Bliss?"
Bliss appeared and smiled.
"What can I do for you master?"
When he saw that Cillian was close to tears, his smile faded, and he asked:
"What's wrong?"
