Capítulo 10: Chapter 10: A New Perspective
As the morning sun streamed through the windows of the hideout, Sergio Marquina, the mastermind known as "The Professor," slowly opened his eyes. He blinked a few times, trying to clear his groggy mind. But something felt different this time. Confusion swept over him as he realized he wasn't in his comfortable hideout anymore.
Sitting up abruptly, Sergio took in his surroundings. The room was smaller and less organized than he was accustomed to. It was a simple bedroom with faded wallpaper and old furniture. He glanced down and noticed he was wearing a worn-out T-shirt and sweatpants – definitely not his usual attire.
"What's going on?" he muttered to himself, his mind racing. He tried to recall the events leading up to this bizarre moment, but everything was a blur.
As he pondered his situation, the door to the bedroom swung open, revealing a familiar face. It was his own face, albeit a younger version of himself.
"Professor, are you awake? We need to get ready for the day," the younger Sergio said, his voice a mix of urgency and concern.
Sergio's heart pounded in his chest as he stared at his doppelgänger. It was as if he was looking at a reflection of his past. He suddenly realized that he was not in his hideout, and he was not in control. He had woken up in the past, in a time before the heists, before the chaos, and before the desperation that had driven him to become the Professor.
With a deep breath, Sergio decided to play along. After all, he was still a brilliant strategist, even if his circumstances had changed.
"Of course," he replied calmly. "Give me a moment to freshen up."
As the younger Sergio left the room, the real Professor got up and splashed cold water on his face, attempting to grasp the reality of the situation. He had somehow been transported to a point in his own timeline where he was not yet the mastermind he had become. This was an opportunity – a chance to see things from a new perspective.
Over the next few days, Sergio observed his younger self interacting with his family and friends, struggling with his ideals, and even experiencing the ups and downs of a budding romance. He saw the young Sergio's determination, his passion for justice, and his unwavering belief in making the world a better place.
As he watched, the real Professor began to reflect on his own journey. He remembered the sacrifices he had made, the lies he had told, and the lives he had manipulated. He realized that somewhere along the way, he had lost sight of his initial motivations. He had become consumed by his own desires for power and control.
With newfound clarity, Sergio decided that he needed to make amends, both to his younger self and to those he had affected. He knew he couldn't change the past, but he could shape his future actions. He had a chance to prevent the chaos that he had inadvertently caused.
As he stood on the rooftop of the hideout, gazing out at the city below, he whispered to the wind, "I won't let this cycle of deception and greed continue. I will find a way to make things right."
Little did he know that his determination to break the cycle would lead him down a path he had never anticipated, one that would challenge his intellect, his values, and his very identity. The past and the future were about to collide in ways he could never have imagined.
