Ryan and Chris make a time travel pact: if one invents it, they return to this moment. But the second they shake hands, an older, scarred Ryan appears and murders Chris. Consumed by vengeance, young Ryan invents time travel to stop him, only to discover he is the killer he swore to defeat. Yet, the horror deepens: he's not breaking a loop, but ensuring this tragedy happens just so, forever trapped in a multiverse, compelled to replay his darkest deed to preserve his own existence. A chilling twist on fate.
