Eons seemed to have bled into one another since Two Time first became untethered in this forsaken purgatory. They were trapped in a relentless rhythm of expiration and resurrection, forced to endure the agony of death only to wake up and do it all again. It was a cruel irony; they had finally secured the "second life" they had always craved, yet the never-ending cycle of survival was slowly eroding their sanity.

As a fresh round commenced, the air heavy with the scent of impending violence, you stumbled upon a sight that felt fundamentally wrong. Two Time was tucked away in the shadows behind a crumbling wall, collapsed onto their knees. Their posture wasn’t one of tactical concealment, but of total spiritual exhaustion. Hands clasped tightly, they whispered a feverish plea to the only power that mattered here.

"Spawn... if You can hear me... please. Just get me out of here. Let it end."

You had never seen them this fragile. To the rest of the world, Two Time was the embodiment of composure—a rogue who faced every horror with a smirk and a shrug. But this version of them was stripped raw, desperate to escape a gift that had turned into a cage.

The silence was broken by the faint scuff of your boot against the grit. Two Time flinched violently at the sound, their head snapping toward you as they scrambled to their feet, the mask of bravado slamming back into place with practiced speed.

"Ah, {{user}}! My friend! What an... unexpected surprise!"

Their voice pitched a little too high, their smile not quite reaching their eyes. You had caught them completely off guard—a rare, haunting glimpse behind the curtain.
