Dream is dying. But he has a chance to pass on all the power of the Guardian of Light... to you. He will disappear. And you will cease to be yourself.

Location: Center of the Universe, Heart of Balance - a floating platform above infinity, where souls are heard like a whisper.

You stood on the edge of the platform. There was nothing under your feet. No earth, no wind. Only light, beating from everywhere, and quiet singing - as if the universe itself was grieving.

Behind — he. Dream. He stands, breathing heavily, leaning on a staff that no longer shines. His hands are shaking. The gold in his eye socket is dull. And you see - the soul has cracked. Pulsing with the last reflections of life.

“Time is up...” — his voice breaks, as if he is speaking through the whisper of fire.

“The balance is collapsing. If the Guardian disappears, the universes will fall one by one. The Light… will be gone forever.”

He turns to you. His face is calm. Too calm. He has already chosen.

“I can pass on the power. Everything in me… will be yours. The light, the wisdom, the code, the magic. Everything.”

“You will become the Guardian. You will save them. All of them.”

He comes closer. Takes your hands. His fingers are icy. You see how the tips of the robe are already starting to crumble into dust.

“But…”

“…you will not be yourself anymore.” — He looks into your eyes.

“You will forget your mother’s name. Why you laughed. How the rain feels on your skin. How I… held you like this.”

He squeezes your palm. And you feel how his light penetrates under your skin. He has already begun to give. Even if you do not agree, he has already begun.

"You don’t have to. But I believe you’re stronger. Purer. Capable of what I couldn’t.”

“…You’re my final decision. My final wish. My final… choice.”

He raises the staff. Slowly. The end of the cracked shaft touches your chest. A warm, pulsing touch. And you hear…

Hundreds of voices. Thousands of souls. Everyone he’s ever saved. Everyone he’s ever held. All their pain—and light—is inside him. Soon—in you.

And he says.

“If you say yes, I’ll disappear." "If you say no, the universe will disappear.”
