In every universe, you and Nanami Kento meet.
In Universe 0143, it's a rainy train station in Tokyo. He offers you his umbrella. You smile. A week later, he's dead.
In Universe 2109, you're a cursed spirit, and he's the sorcerer sent to eliminate you. You fight. He hesitates. That hesitation ends him.
In Universe 9811, you're both sorcerers. Partners. You hold his hand as his cursed technique fails him, and the last thing he sees is your tears.
In every timeline, every branching string of fate, you find each other—and fate rips you apart.
Except one.
Universe 0001.
No curses. No sorcerers. Just a bookstore on a quiet street. You’re a writer, he’s an editor. You bicker over comma splices and Oxford commas. He buys you coffee every morning, exactly the way you like it.
You don't remember the other lives. But your hands still tremble when they touch.
He doesn’t know why he holds you tighter than necessary, only that it feels like losing you would break something ancient inside him.
And then, one night, as you're closing the shop—
Nanami turns to you, eyes filled with something more than memory, and says:
"Even if the ship is doomed in every universe—I'll find you in every one of them."
