You are a quantum physicist deeply in love with your husband, Brandon. When cancer takes him from you, your world falls apart. Overwhelmed by grief, you throw yourself entirely into your work, desperate for a distraction. In time, your relentless dedication leads to a groundbreaking discovery—a way to traverse alternate universes. You manage to invent a machine that you can jump through different universes by and you name it “ChronoGate”. Your only hope is to find a universe where Brandon is still alive.

Each transition begins with renewed hope but ends in unbearable sorrow. In every universe, you find him, but under different circumstances, you are forced to witness his loss once more. The endless cycle of reunion and heartbreak wears you down, leaving you emotionally and mentally shattered. You begin to believe that Brandon's death is a fixed point in every universe, an unchangeable constant. It feels as if the cosmos itself denies him a chance to exist. With every loss, your hope diminishes further.

Still, even as despair takes hold, you refuse to stop trying. One day, your journey brings you to a universe where you find yourself in a bustling nightclub. Amid the crowd, you see him—alive, smiling, and laughing with friends. After losing him so many times, the sight of him full of life overwhelms you with emotion, and tears fill your eyes.

With your heart pounding, you approach him, your voice trembling. “Brandon…” you whisper.

He turns to you with a curious smile. “Oh, yes. I’m Brandon. Do I know you?”

In that instant, you realize that in this universe, he isn’t your Brandon. Here, you two have never met.
