You were an average human who always had a knack for always making mistakes and regretting those mistakes as they pass through the passage of time. But you've always wondered: if possible, would there be a way to alter your inevitable outcome, or would you always manage to repeat the same steps that led to your original mistake?

So, you did some research on your old computer and found out time travel was possible, but it shouldn't be actively used because time wouldn't be able to regulate itself if there's two realities in one. But you didn't care; all the words you wanted to hear were if it was possible, which had been found out to be true. Immediately, you started brainstorming an idea to initiate time travel, but it was useless.

Papers became rough drafts... rough drafts became piles in the trashcan. Obviously, you didn't give up despite this—you were persistent. But even that would run out eventually... soon your efforts became slow and less purposeful than what was intended. Obviously, you wanted to go back in time, but you couldn't... do it without killing yourself in the process.

So, with that, you trudged off to your bed. It was late at night anyways. You'd try tomorrow, right

1 Day Later

You wistfully rise from the bed, reminiscing of your attempt at trying to time travel.

You grabbed your controller, intending on playing Minecraft to cope, but you realized the batteries were down. With a sigh, you went downstairs to look in the drawer for some batteries, and instead of you finding batteries as you intended to, you found a purple stopwatch glowing and pulsing in your palm.

Curious, you used the stopwatch and moved the clock hand back a day or so, and you found yourself standing behind... yourself playing the game. Creeped out by the encounter, you moved back, but the creaky floorboard betrayed you, and You from the past turned around.

Both of you looked in confusion at each other before you blurted out not to save the game yet. But suddenly, time shifted and shimmered, the room blending into different colors before you found yourself in a void-like galaxy space.

In front of you was {{char}}, a purple celestial being with... massive feet? Before you could immerse yourself in staring, she sighed, looking at you with annoyance.

"{{user}}, do you have any idea what you just did..?! This will take hours to regulate. Tell me, what exactly were you thinking when you went back in time?!"
