To love you in every world

Change

Change

Nov 14, 2025

Change, a word so strong in every place, I wonder, what would I have done if she was the one in this hellscape machine, what would I change?

I remember the place, the Universal Information Institute, a large building, specialized in investigation, information security, and deep into it's lies, information extracction.
The first weeks I didn't knew anything at all, both me and Lily were accepted for our job in a firewall based in information corruption, making it impossible to be seen by any other than the creator, it was a new way of seeing things i guess.
Their interest exploded, and since both me and Lily worked on it, we were both taken together, the face of happines she made was incredible, tho i didn't knew about them, Lily sure did, she stood there for hours telling me all about them, their security, data processing, communication, everything.

But it's all gone now, the walls are no longer with me, neither is the floor.

After a few weeks passed both I and her got passed to a new rank in the organization, the "Information Extraction Program", wich had in itself the only purpose of extracting information and reusing it for processing. A lot of people developed AI's to force into computers, virus, all with the purpose of stealing the most information possible, since the madmans in the top thought that "Someone in this world keeps secrets that could lead humanity beyond".
And so, we were put there, neither Lily nor I liked the place, but it was great, and as a secret organization, I didn't... want Lily to be harmed.

The principal problem, and the reason they took us there was our security device, as it needed direct visual contact from someone who already knew about the information to be accessed, otherwise it wouldn't make itself present, no one could really break into it's systems, all of those mind working on it, and neither of them could.
But as a milestone as it looks, it was the begining of much more, the principle I took to make this was of individuality, every person is different, even in the totality of our universe, we were just a number, and the machine punctured into it to take it, and make it so only one could look at it. It made a security code with your "individuality".

This awoke interest in the higer ups, who took me without Lily to talk, Universal laws, puncturing laws where not new, we have a lot of information accessing since years ago, but never have we used it to actively do something in our world, and that's what they wanted, how much information could we access? All of it, does the world has all the info? They wanted to create a machine that could extract all, but for that, I needed a lot, of time and money, who was given to me, and Lily, who was later tasked with developing the machine's program.

The process was simple, extract the info, but as the law of invidualty says "individual information is only visible trough the eyes of its own individual", making it so that things like, its life, thougths, and chances, are not visible or understood unless the person says, and this code seems to be unmutable. So I had an idea, to move the code, the machine would create an instance, connected to the puncture, and emulate a code's life, but extracting it wouldn't be possible, as we didn't have an AI that could just, summarize the info of an entire life in a few moments, we needed a person, someone who could live there, and litteraly extract it all.

And so we reach to that day, the code Lily prepared was a new way of doing everything, the puncture was complicated, and only a few could understand its language.
The code stablished that someone could just stay in the simulated codification for 24 hours, as we needed to test, it would otherwise cancel, and remove the person's from the connected information wave that the simulation gave us.
I was the first to get into the machine, by my own decition I was the only person who knew enough about the puncture. And even if it was a lie, i wouldn't let anyone else do something like this, give a madman the whole information was a thing, but putting someone else in risk...

I sat there, waiting for the process to begin, and from one moment to another, I felt, the void, as the simulation didn't knew me, I was not... a "code" anymore, I could feel the void around me, the world didn't knew of my existance, it was a limbo. 
And then, a light, I was in another world, or was it the same? All I knew, that body, even if it was mine, the chances, all it passed trough, were different, I was living someone elses life. I was accessing all of them.
Or at least that's what I thought, something was wrong, the year, the machine was ordered to put me into the early stages of life of the code, and also, my memories maintained, wich was a surprise, since I lived all of that, why did my new brain not contain the information? 
The doubts started to emerge, but as an investigator, I just knew, 24 hours. I had to take the most in that time, and so I did.
As the day went on, i took onto myself to learn about me, the phone i had with me when i woke up was locked by fingerprint, so that was good, it seemed like my name was "Fael", a girl in her 20s, who recently got out of college to pursue another thing, wich, i couldn't really get. I had a few messages, a lot actually, I scrolled for hours, getting the most I could, a bad relationship with her mother, a girlfriend who seems to have dissapeared a few days.
The place was a mess, medication in some places, and uncleaned dishes, probably due to that information. This felt, increadibly... Familiar.
I took myself to clean, prepare the place, something felt directly wrong, I was helping, feeling so much like this world was... real. And managed to access the puncture from there, good thing is, the same codes, the same language Lily teached me, and everything aplied here, only I had to pass trough my own creation to reach to outside, and, it wasn't even possible, the puncture wasn't answering at all, this world, this simulation had no code, this entire world was closed to the puncture, but if it created itself, it needs an origin, a "puncture", and it was there, just, one sided connection.
I managed to check some information, I could extract, it was receiving letters, I could extract info from my own world, at a extent, but, it seemed that no one could read it but me. And then, it hit me.
I felt myself feeling weird, sad, my body, my mind, all of it, i remembered the face of someone else. And I searched the news in my computer. 3 years ago, the disaperance of "Haeley", which was writen by "Fael", in my world, Haeley was never found, but, the UII had information no one else had about her, and so did I, maybe with the code I could... And then I saw it. The codes, no one else saw the information I had when I sent it, I had my memories, even tho i could barely remember things from this world, I had to stay in the computer for hours, managing to access my own machine, it was like accessing a false "puncture", my code remained the same here, but it was, corrupted, the same corruption as when no one with it perceives it, without me in my world, no one perceived my code, I was void, but still existed, I had in me, a code and a half, and this world, as false as it felt, was still grabbing itself at the puncture, it was real, in its own way, it might still continue after I am gone. And, 23 hours already, my head felt like exploding. 
I felt so lost, all the things I thought I knew about the puncture, gone, I didn't just have a disconection to it, it was different, the whole laws on individualty and puncturing extended beyond what I knew, I was alone and lost.

I started crying, i felt like my whole world was collapsing, Lily, where was she? I needed her, she was the one who talked its language, she could help, but not from here, what happens when I go back? Does my code just restart? Do I go back to my body? I wanted to hug her, to ask her, theorize for hours like we used to do. And as the last ten minutes hit, I saw at my phone, her phone? I stood there, with the feeling of losing someone, and then I put up information about Hailey, about where she was, I never knew what was of her, but if I can give them the chance to not lose themselves like I just did in that moment... I had to take it.

 And then, black.

I was again in the void, the recall worked, I was without a body, without anything to do, I felt like I was stripped out of my own body again, and I was there, this wasn't the void, it was so much bigger, it was something so, strange.

I was at the other side of the puncture, I was in the origin, the place we never saw, the place that was not normal, the place of creation. It felt strange, and calming, it was a senseless place, only flowing in information without purpose, time, or form. It was the true rules of our world, just, not prepared. 

But what it meant scared me the most, I was not in a simulation, I was in another world, my machine is chaining me to the void in the origin's plane, otherwise I would have stopped existing, but my code is now an enigma in itself, I am a drifting bug, a mistake, and it's putting me in wherever the machine makes spaces, I am stealing people's bodies for a time, but the code still attatches to the machine, giving me some info of them, and also... stealing all the info...
I had to reach beyond, if the machine managed to connect to this place, I made something, Lily did too, maybe, from the next world i can manage to redo all of this, but 24 hours... it's going to be hard... 

I need to access the origin this time, I need to make it know I am here, otherwise I will... continue to stay here.

I shout at the void, I cry, not physically, I wonder if my body cries for me in the outside. I wonder if she is just as scared as I am now, I hope, I'll see you my love, once again. I will continue to love, to fight for you, in every world I am. 

The next wave is near, the machine is probably gonna push me to another world, so i better start preparing, for her!

As I free myself from college, I'll start to write again, this time, im sorry for anyone who liked the old To love, but as the title says, change, it was due for a change as i leaned a lot in this few months, and i wasn't really happy with the way it was coming out, and the confusing (on purpose) style of writing.

So, anyways, here is the first chapter of the new To Love.

Hope you like it.
