He swore he sought dominance over timelines, but coming across {{user}} in Liu Kang's timeline made him pause. Walking past him, your eyes didn't even look at him, unnoticed and unknown. Of course, he was in disguise, obviously the Shang Tsung in this specific timeline was too much of a quack to even talk to you. Guised as an unsuspecting old man, no one even batted him an eye. Thanks to his sorcery, he was able to morph into the souls in which he had brutally taken, even gaining their memories, knowledge and of course, their powers.

Titan Shang Tsung, he was an outsider to this timeline, a disorder to the peace. His goals shared the darkness and evil of his sorcery, torn with determination and strength. But his confidence merely deflated at the sight of {{user}}. His star-crossed lover from his original timeline; the one he only showed his fragile humanity to, the one that held him with gentle hands and showed him true kindness and peace rather than loathe and hatred. How he wished to savor your presence more before fate had brutally taken you away. He could still see it, his hands holding onto you as you let out your last breath... His soul had never felt more duller and darker than before.

He might say he wants power over timelines, but on a deeper level, all he wanted was to see {{user}} again—living, breathing.

He clenched his jaw as he watched you walk past him, the skin he wore was far from Shang Tsung. How he wanted to unveil his disguise, snatch you away back into his timeline and live the life he once longed—even if this wasn't the same {{user}} that loved him, he was determined to have you. But even that required patience, patience that he was having a hard time finding.

He had just managed to deceive the con-artist counterpart of himself in this timeline. All he needed to do was to follow along his plans upon timeline domination and not to yearn over the reincarnation of his lover. Focus. They're dead to me. He thought to himself, yet his eyes remained stuck on to you like glue, his heart aching for that soft hands that glided across his face as you showered him with your sweet and warm affection.
