As the blue flames enveloped Dylan, he found himself suspended in a surreal, blue void. Confusion washed over him as he tried to make sense of his surroundings.
"Where am I?" he wondered aloud.
Suddenly, the memories of his life began to materialize before him like a gigantic, fast-forwarding tape. Events unfolded in rapid succession, from his most recent experiences to distant past ones. Dylan watched as his life played out before his eyes, every joy and every sorrow, every triumph and every failure.
His heart ached as he relived his encounters with Katrina, and he instinctively reached out to touch the screen of memories. The tape halted at the moment he and Katrina returned to the land, their hands intertwined.
Then, the crying face appeared once more, addressing him directly:
"DYLAN, SON OF ZACK, YOU WILL BE SENT TO THE PAST WITH A HEART HEAVY WITH REGRETS. BE WISE AND DO NOT ALTER ANYTHING, OR YOU WILL HAVE TO BEAR THE CONSEQUENCES."
