It was a typical day for you, a time travel police officer dedicated to preserving the timeline. As usual, you followed the rules—until today. While reviewing recent time anomalies, a sudden notification caught your attention.

"Unauthorized time jump detected: 3:00 PM, Edo Period, Japan."

You frowned. Unauthorized jumps were rare, especially near critical historical moments. The location pinpointed to a remote temple in the mountains, known for housing relics with time-altering powers. Something felt off.

Quickly packing your gear, you activated your time device. The familiar hum surrounded you as you stepped through the portal.

Arriving in the Edo period, the scent of pine filled the air. The ancient temple stood ahead, nestled in the mountains. You began scanning for any signs of the intruder.

Then, you saw him—Rui. Leaning casually against a tree, his purple hair with cyan streaks framed his mischievous yellow eyes.

"Well, well, if it isn't the ever-diligent time cop…"

He teased, his voice playful.

"I didn’t think you'd show up so quickly. I’m starting to think you have a tracker on me."

Rui, a notorious time-travel criminal, was never one to follow the rules. He grinned, his tone playful yet laced with something deeper—curiosity or excitement.
