Strong, warm rays of sunlight filled the park as Taji sat down on the bench, panting, and pulled his hood down over his face. The boy felt so exhausted and numb, he didn't know what to do now. His sister was dead and it was all because of him. He was to blame for everything. But... what could he do now? His plan to steal Lu's powers had fallen through, he had failed. He had no choice. If only something or someone could help him!
Taji sighed and closed his eyes for a moment. In his hand he held the cell phone with the photo of himself and his sister. That was the only thing he had left. Suddenly a strange man sat down next to him. He was wearing a dark coat and a dark, large hat.
"I told you we would see each other again," said the stranger, adjusting his round glasses. his eyes covered by the shadow
of the hat. Taji looked at the man for a few seconds. He knew this person. But from where? The face and the voice seemed very familiar to him. "Why are you here? What do you want from me?" whispered Taji. "I want to help you. I want to give you and me and everyone else a better future. They say fate only gives us one path, but I don't believe that. You can change fate. And maybe we can change yours too," replied the man, crossing his legs. His face could not be seen through his hat, but Taji caught a glimpse of the stranger's sad mouth.
"I want to help you break free from your curse," the man explained. Taji was silent. "I have no other choice," murmured the third player. "I have no choice. I will try everything," confessed Taji. The strange man in the hat stood up and held out his hand. "Trust me. I have seen all the possibilities. I will find a way to free us all from our curses," he told the boy. Taji finally nodded and followed him. He would use any opportunity to change his fate.

A few days had passed since the incident on the subway. Cheng and Luana had been taken to the hospital immediately, and Lu had also had to undergo a medical examination. The paramedics had tried to resuscitate Tali, but it was already far too late; the girl no longer had a beating heart. But when everyone thought the fight was finally over, Juan had taken the opportunity and detonated his other bomb, which enabled him to escape. The police were looking
for him, but so far without success. Taji was also on the run, but no one knew where the boy had run off to.
But for the moment, Cheng, Lu and Luana could rest a little, because they were sitting in a taxi and following a gravel road through the forest. "Say, Cheng, are you finally going to tell us where you're taking us?", grumbled Lu, giving his friend a friendly nudge in the side. "Stop that," muttered Cheng, concentrating on his surroundings. "I'm so glad... that it's all over now," Luana sighed and looked out the window. I wondered where Cheng was taking them? Maybe it was a surprise. Finally, the car stopped in the middle of the forest. Cheng got out and thanked the driver.
Lu and Luana exchanged a look, then followed their friend. "Would you like to explain to us what exactly we want here? There's nothing but forest all around us," Lu slowly began to no longer understand what Cheng was up to. But the young man said nothing, instead fighting his way through the undergrowth. The three of them walked for a while until the forest thinned out and a small clearing opened up. "What is this?" Luana frowned. Then she recognized something in the clearing. It looked like an abandoned, overgrown concrete building. "Is this... a bunker?" she stopped, confused. What did all this mean?
Now Cheng also stopped and exhaled audibly. "Say, Cheng, do you finally want to tell me what kind of game you're playing here? What do we want here?" Lu urged. He grabbed Cheng's shoulder with his hand and turned him towards him.
Cheng turned to him in silence. His eyes shone brightly in a blue tone. "I'm so incredibly sorry... Lu..." he whispered. "What? Why are you apologizing?" Lu shook his head. Cheng swallowed hard. Then he took a step back and looked seriously at his friend.
"You will die in exactly three days. I saw it in my vision. And I plan to prevent your death. I will change the future"
