Love In Reverse

Crossroads of Time

Ezra: "Lillian, tell me the truth. Did you know this would happen? Did you set us up to fail?"

Lillian: sighs "I didn't set us up, Ezra. I tried to find another way. But time... it has a mind of its own."

Cassius: smirks "Oh, how poetic. But you see, dear Ezra, Lillian has been rewriting history in ways you can't even fathom. Isn't that right, my dear?"

Lillian: glares "You manipulated me! You made me think I had a choice when I never did."

Selene: steps forward "Lillian, are you sure about that? Think back. Think hard. There were moments, weren't there? Glitches. Signs that time was fighting back."

Ezra: clenches fists "And now, because of all this, I don't even know if what I feel is real. Did I love you because I was meant to? Or because you forced it?"

Lillian: tearfully "Ezra, I never forced anything! I just wanted to save us from the inevitable heartbreak. But maybe... maybe some things are meant to break."

Cassius: laughs "Now that's the spirit! Accept your fate, Lillian. The past is unchangeable, and the future? Oh, it's already written in ink."

Ezra: grabs Lillian's hand "We have to fight this. We have to fight him."

Selene: nodding "There is one way. But it comes at a cost."

Lillian: "What cost?"

Cassius: grinning "Ah, yes. The price of defying time itself. Would you erase your entire existence from Ezra's life to set him free?"

Ezra: "No! That's not an option. There has to be another way."

Selene: "There isn't. If Lillian vanishes from his timeline, the cycle stops. Ezra moves forward."

Lillian: whispers "And I disappear."

Ezra: shaking his head "Lillian, don't. Please."

Cassius: chuckling "Oh, this is delicious. A true lover's dilemma. Sacrifice or selfishness—what will it be, Lillian?"

Lillian: looking at Ezra, voice breaking "I love you. That's why I have to let you go."

Ezra: "No. Lillian—"

Selene: whispers an incantation

The world shatters. Time rewinds. And suddenly, Ezra is alone, standing in a life where Lillian never existed.
