There was a time when I believed that everything was going according to plan.

Maybe it was a simple comfort that I created because I didn't want to lose sight of the hope in front of me.

I... I was a blind man, unaware of what was happening in front of me.

All my carefully calculated plans were nothing more than a dream, crushed by a single truth.

This dream... Could it really become a reality?

One by one, unforeseen problems reared their ugly heads.

And just when I thought it was all over, he showed up.

I'd never met him before, but I knew the moment I saw his face. Actually, I could feel it.

That he knew something I didn't.

And that what I didn't know had to do with me—no, us.

Without saying much, he asked me a single question.

"What choice will you make this time?"

It was a question that left a lot out, but I understood, having already made my choice.

When I told it to him, he simply nodded.

As if he already knew I would make that choice.

...

There are some choices that I would never change, no matter how many times I was given the chance.

It's a miracle that could never happen with the technology I understand today.

But... Even if I could turn back time and go back to the past,

even if I could relive this life all over again,

I would never change this choice.
