[COMPLETE] First Time

TRANSMISSION 05 - WONPIL

After a good night's rest, I went to the Institute's library and started researching. I've done some multiverse manipulation before, but never on a person and never of this magnitude. After getting what info I could, I went to the Dome Chamber where multiverse threads were held and recorded - or at least some of them anyway.

The Dome Chamber was a special access building only for gifted students and select regular students. Multiverse thread manipulation wasn't just changing space and time but reality itself. However, there were some limitations. For every manipulation was an equal, opposite consequence and sometimes the consequences were too risky and too great. Manipulation can only be done to the present, never to alter the past. And for every case study I've done regarding this, even manipulating multiverse threads couldn't go against higher power - some would call it destiny while others would call it the will of God.

When I checked your multiverse threads, I was a little surprised and confused. This was a life or death situation, it was risk free for you, but Sungjin's death was inevitable. Was this destiny?

I looked harder and saw a thread that had a chance of Sungjin making it out alive. But when I saw what needed to happen, what the condition was, I realized you weren't going to end up unscathed.

Someone grasped my arm and I jumped.

"Hi," you said, with a little wave. "How bad is it?"

"If all goes well, Sungjin will make it out alive..."

"But? Am I going to die?" You took a deep breath, steeling yourself for the worst.

"... No, but I think you wish you would," I looked at you sadly. "He'll forget everything about the two of you and every memory he has of you will be erased."

You looked at my expression and exhaled slowly. "But Pil, that's not the worst... Is it? That's all on Sungjin, what about - " You asked softly. You didn't realize you were crying until I brushed some of your tears and gave you my handkerchief.

"... So Sungjin will forget me, but I'll remember everything?" I pulled you into a hug and nodded.

"You need to let him go."

"Pil, that's too much..."

"No, I mean figuratively. In the multiverse thread, you should never meet him. Because for every multiverse thread I examined where he died, you guys met. Sungjin's cause of death... Was meeting you," I said, my voice barely above a whisper but you heard everything perfectly.
