"Reporting live for NYC 6, I'm Mike Canter, on location at the scene of a suspected break-in at Boulevard Beans, located at the corner of 17th and 7th Ave. Police sources indicate that a call was made at around 7:43 PM about a potential break-in at the renowned coffee shop. By 7:52 PM, emergency services had arrived, finding three individuals unconscious among a water spill."

Viewers may remember that this is the third incident this week involving local businesses and shutting off the power. Only three days ago, on Tuesday, a burglary took place at KFP near 14th St and 2nd Ave, and last week, Joe's Deli on 16th St and 8th Ave experienced a similar incident. The question arises... wait, Mike, turn the camera to the suspects!"

As two officers lead away one of the robbers, he yells incoherently, struggling to stand, "I'm telling you, she could bend water and conjure a trident out of thin air, just like her friend!" He is then shoved into the back of a police cruiser as the camera swiftly returns to the reporter, who gazes curiously before facing the camera again.

"Could the actions of these suspects be attributed to the recent emergence of AsaCoco on our streets, posing a risk to our youth? We will continue to provide updates on this story; stay tuned for our News at 11 segments. We hope to provide additional information in our late report. This is Mike Canter, reporti..." The transmission on the old television cuts off unexpectedly.

"Could there be a chance that Gura might be involved, Bubba?" She queries her loyal companion, standing up from her wooden desk leaving on the desk a vintage watch marked with a logo of mustache which matches her tie logo exuding a soft blue glow around the outline of the watch. Her gaze shifts from the simple brown interior to the dilapidated sofa where her partner is preoccupied with a nondescript toy.

"Bark," agrees the small yellow terrier, mirroring his owner's concerns as she rises. She extends a pin and red string across a map of New York, pinpointing the sites of recent break-ins. A lone dim light hangs above the board, casting shadows over the various books and the map. Numerous post-its, each labeled with peculiar events from the crime reports, line the location.

Below the board, an open book titled 'Timeline 1337' is splayed out, while on the shelves beneath, books are stacked in disarray, unified only by the word 'Timeline' followed by a sequence of random numbers.

"Was that possibly being Gura in New York? She wasn't supposed to be there at this point. Could this be an anomaly in the timeline and given us a chance?" she muses aloud, a glimmer of hope in her voice against the soft buzz of the office lights.

Her eyes briefly rest on a faded photograph showing her and several others in vivid colors, all posing joyfully on a concert stage. Nostalgia overwhelms her as she looks toward the frame. The caption below the photo states: HoloMyth's First Performance at Link Your Wish Holofest.

In the image, she stands among a group of women clad in idol-like attire, each complementing their hair color. Gura is to one side, her broad smile revealing sharp shark teeth. Next to Gura is a radiant woman with shoulder-length orange hair that fades into a turquoise shade. Adjacent to the orange-haired woman is an individual with waist-length pink hair and a playful grin. The shortest member, close to Gura, has subtly pointed ears and long, purple hair that transitions into squid-like tentacles with yellow tips.

At the stage's center stood a girl with shoulder-length blonde hair, wearing a proud grin. As she looked at herself, her stomach twisted into endless knots. The smiles of her friends seemed to morph into glares of anger and disappointment aimed at her, despite her wish to disappear from the world after failing to protect them.

They sacrificed themselves for a mere human who couldn't fulfill her role to save them and the world.

Memories surged back of the accursed day when chaos broke out as the Ancient Ones took complete possession of Ina's body, corrupting her to serve as their puppet, and unleashed havoc across New York, claiming the lives of countless innocent civilians and friends because of his actions leading to the awakening of Ancient Ones.
