More of the faceless beings emerged from the shadows, their forms flickering between human and something else entirely. The air grew thick with whispers, and the very fabric of reality seemed to bend around them.
They said :
"The stories you shared, they were seeds. Seeds that grew into this new reality. Your words reshaped the world, just as the ancient ones did before you."
Johnny answer firmly :
"We can fix this"
The faceless beings moved closer, their forms rippling like heat waves.
"You cannot undo what has been done. The old world is gone. This is evolution."
He raised the time machine, its light growing stronger.
he agreed and said :"We might not be able to undo it, "but we can guide it. We can tell new stories, here and now, to shape this reality into something better."
The machine's light expanded, enveloping them once more. But this time, instead of traveling through time, they began to see the threads of reality itself – countless stories interweaving to form the fabric of existence.
As they spoke, the world around them began to shift again. The faceless beings gained features that were both alien and beautiful. The twisted buildings softened into impossible but harmonious shapes. The eyes in the trees became windows into other dimensions, full of wonder rather than horror.
They had changed their world irrevocably, but perhaps that had been the point all along. Sometimes, Johnny realized, salvation doesn't come from preventing change, but from learning to guide it toward something new and wonderful, even if it's different from everything we've known before.
The time machine grew quiet in his hands, its purpose fulfilled. Above them, the sky swirled with colors that had no names, and somewhere, Johnny could have sworn he heard Hiroshi laughing – not in fear or mockery, but in pure joy at the beauty of transformation.
