In the year 2137, time travel became a reality, but with strict regulations. Only the chosen could travel, and Arlen was one of them. Haunted by dreams of a life he never lived, he decided it was time to unravel the mystery behind his fragmented memories. With a special license, Arlen set out on his first journey to the past, landing in a small town in 2035. The air was filled with nostalgia and a hint of danger. He met Mira, a woman who seemed to recognize him, her eyes holding echoes of a distant memory. Together, they ventured through the town, where Arlen experienced deja vu at every corner. Each place awakened emotions he couldn’t explain, drawing him closer to a truth he yearned to uncover. They laughed, shared stories of their lives, and fell into a bond that transcended time. As dusk fell, Mira led Arlen to an old, abandoned house at the edge of town. "This is where it all began," she whispered, her voice trembling. Inside, they discovered a room filled with photographs and journals, remnants of another life. Arlen's heart raced as he flipped through the pages. They spoke of a tragedy involving time travel experiments and a catastrophic event that erased countless lives from existence. One journal, adorned with Mira's name, detailed their connection—a love that was lost but not forgotten. Suddenly, Arlen's memories flooded back. He was not just a time traveler; he was Mira’s partner, together on a mission to protect time from corruption. But a mishap in their last mission sent Arlen into a limbo of lost memories, while Mira had perished, her existence erased from time. Overwhelmed, Arlen realized he had been living in a loop, quietly yearning for Mira’s return. In a mix of sorrow and determination, he vowed to honor their love and restore her memory. As Arlen prepared to return to his time, he felt a pull towards Mira. In an act of desperation to save her, he reached out. "I won’t let you fade, Mira!" he shouted, activating a device he had found among the journals. A blinding light enveloped them as the fabric of time twisted around. Suddenly, the room disappeared, and they were hurled into the void. When the light dimmed, Arlen found himself alone in his original timeline. Desperation gripped his heart as he realized he had altered history—Mira’s existence was gone. In his bid to reclaim their love, he had led to her ultimate loss. Yet, as he sat in despair, his wrist device beeped softly. A new message appeared: "Find me where echoes never fade." With newfound determination, Arlen began searching for the next portal, fueled by love, grief, and the burning hope to rewrite their fate.
