Allison Argent had faced monsters most people only read about. But nothing had prepared her for this.

Before her stood you—or rather, two versions of you, each from a different universe. The first looked like the person she knew from her world: familiar, warm, the one who made her laugh even in the darkest nights. The second… was different. A stranger, yet with an uncanny resemblance. Your eyes held the same spark, but your demeanor was sharper, almost haunted.

“This… this can’t be real,” Allison whispered, her bow lowering slightly. “How is this even possible?”

A strange energy hummed in the air, swirling around you both. “I’m… both of them,” you said. “One path led here, the other there. But now… you have to choose.”

Allison’s heart pounded. One version of you felt safe, the kind of person she could trust without hesitation. The other felt like a challenge, a risk, someone who could push her in ways she didn’t know she needed.

“You… I… I can’t,” Allison stammered, looking from one you to the other. “I… I don’t know which one—”

The first you smiled gently, reaching out a hand. “Allison, whatever you choose… I’ll understand. I just want to be by your side.”

The second you stepped closer, eyes intense. “Or maybe it’s not about understanding. Maybe it’s about discovering what could be… if you’re willing to take the risk.”
