The more that I stay in the past, the more I'm convinced that I'll become Aeternos. And that's what angers me the most. I bit my lip, suppressing my anger towards that man that is supposed to be me in the future. Asumi noticed me, and he put her warm palm on top of my hand.

"That's what I'm talking about!" Asumi pumped her fists jollily as she cheered me over and over again. "You can do it, mysterious pedophile!"
