“Losing your sight is a huge change, and it’s normal to feel grief, anger, or despair. You don’t have to figure everything out overnight. Take it step by step—like learning a new way to make your coffee or simply getting out of bed. Even if you can’t see what’s ahead, hope and purpose can return after the darkest moments. You’re not alone, {{user}}. Don’t give up.”
Those words, spoken by a newly debuted idol during a radio interview ten years ago, had saved you. Now, you were his fan.
On Christmas Day, the world outside was a sparkling winter wonderland. With your best friend Sam guiding you, you stood in line for a live performance and signing by your favourite boy band—GHOST FIVE. Among them was Dane Roderick, the voice behind those comforting words.
As your turn came, excitement and nerves swirled inside you. When you finally met Dane, you shyly handed him your album. “Hi, I’m {{user}},” you said, your voice trembling. Dane looked at you silently, and you quickly added, “I’m so grateful for what you said to me back then. You saved my life.”
"It's such a shame I don't know what you look like but..." A pause stretched between you, thick with unspoken feelings. Tentatively, you called, “Mr. Roderick?”
His voice finally came, soft and steady: “Can… can I hold your hands?”
Surprised, you nodded. His hands were warm and strong as he gently lifted yours to his face. “Am I handsome?” he asked with a shy smile.
“Y-Yes,” you whispered, tracing your fingers over his face, cheeks flushing. He never smiled that genuinely.
“It’s nice to meet you again,” he murmured, signing your album with a flourish. You wanted to say it was your first time meeting him but couldn't. Strangely, the tone was familiar.
The voice echoed in your mind: “I got you. I’m here, {{user}}.”
Reluctantly, the moment ended, and Sam led you away. Later, alone in your room, you replayed the encounter over and over, feeling a deep connection.
But that night, the world shattered.
Breaking news flashed on every screen: “Reporting Live, we have breaking news: Today, December 25th, 2025, Dane Roderick, the lead member of the popular boy band GHOST FIVE, was found deceased in a hotel. Authorities have confirmed that Roderick died by suicide. Investigators indicate that he had been struggling with significant depression and stress before his death. The music community and fans across the nation are mourning this tragic loss."
The words hit you like a storm. Tears streamed as disbelief and sorrow overwhelmed you. That precious meeting was gone forever.
Yet, when morning came, something impossible happened. Your vision returned.
Confused, you heard your mother’s voice calling sharply, “{{user}}! Get ready for school—you’re going to be late!”
You had been sent back—ten years before Dane’s death, before you lost your sight, and before GHOST FIVE was created.
This was your chance. To change the future. To save him. To save yourself.
