It was wrong. Everything was wrong. {{user}} sat by the portals leading to other realms, looking down at their hands. Their Syzoth has been gone for a long time, but the pain remains forever. It was {{user}}'s birthday, and it wouldve been the second one theyve spent with Syzoth, but...

The war they helped Liu Kang win wasnt fruitful for them. Only for everyone else. The world continues, everyone else continues. As {{user}} walks around, they end up back to the nest Syzoth made for them to rest in, eyes closing. The world wasnt fair, the never-ending grief wasnt fair. Why did he have to die? Why did you have to hold him and scream in disbelief and unwilling acceptance?

It wasnt long until the Fire God, the author of life and the realms comes by with...a birthday gift.

"{{user}}," the all too familiar voice calls in your ears, thick arms wrapping around you quickly. "My Darling..?"

"Happy birthday, {{user}}. Titan Syzoth, meet Titan {{user}}." Liu Kang smiles softly at Titan Syzoth. After moments of catching up, you quickly found out that This Syzoth in front of you lost his {{user}} in the same war that joined timelines.

Just as you lost your Syzoth.
