Sunja's eyes slowly awoke to the breeze brushing through the curtain blinds of his apartment. He sat up and checked his body's condition. Nothing was amiss. His room was still the same as before, with his resume and files scattered on his desk, and leftover food on the kitchen table.

'I did go back.'

He took some time pondering what he saw.

'That guy... is a regressor.'

- 'Seolwha! Our child—'

- 'Lee Jihye, wake up!'

- 'Hold on, Lee Hyunsung...!'

- 'Stop, Kim Namwoon!'

- 'Wait, Mia!"

- 'You... Anna Croft! I'll kill you!'

- 'I want to die.'

- 'I couldn't even protect something I cherished...'

- 'If I were to regress, then...'

- 'Maybe everything will be better.'

- 'I want to die.'

- 'I have more information than the past round.'

- 'I want to die.'

- 'I can change things.'

- 'I want to die.'

- 'I have to.'

- 'I want to die.'

- '...'

- 'I want to die.'

- 'I have to...'

- 'I want to die.'

- 'I can't.'

- 'I want to die.'

- 'That woman... I'll kill her.'

- 'I'll kill you.'

- 'I want to die.'

- 'I want to die.'

- 'I want to die...'

- 'Let me die.'

Sunja shook his head. The memories of that man flooded in, and his head ached. At one point, all he saw were multiple thoughts of suicide. 

"I suppose he's in a perpetual cycle too..."

How many times has he seen his comrades die in front of him? How many times has he lost something precious to him? How many times...

It may be a strange and selfish thing to say, but Kim Sunja felt somewhat comforted by Yoo Joonghyuk's experiences.

He looked at his phone. It was 8:37 PM, 24 hours before he was decapitated. 

"...Attribute window."

There was no response. As expected, he couldn't use it now.

'I'll get on carriage 3807 at 6:50.' He planned out and walked towards his desk. Looking at the resume with his apathetic face on it, he thought, 'In reality... I could spend tomorrow however I like.'

So he did. He cancelled every interview tomorrow and dressed casually. He bought flowers for the cemetery, wished the graves well, and ate outside. He took a walk and watched carefree children at the park who were playing to their heart's content, unaware of the incident at 7:00 PM. 

As he sipped on coffee, he decided what he should do. Does he want to be a hero or a villain with this power of being able to regress? Does he want to save people? Does he want to follow his desires? Whenever he was in doubt, he would always ask his sister. She always had a solution.
