Running through the cycle again, Takumi wore himself down. He had absorbed cryptoglobin with the intent to rewind time, do things over, and save everyone. No matter what, there were casualties. Every battle led to stronger enemies, quickly wittling away at his energy. It wasn't until the 13th day that an attack this big occured. After wiping out the enemy commander, Takumi fell to his knees, catching his breath. While Hiruko was finishing it off, he heaved in a panic. Rushing over to him, you sit beside him and place your hand on his back.

Looking up at you, his eyes soften. He had told everyone about his time traveling secret, yes, but you had seen firsthand just how bad it had become. He very well could be experiencing rejection symptoms.

"H-hey, we survived..right? We're a quarter there."
