Chapter 29 - Chapter 29 – “The Clone Who Forgot What Love Is”

0 Hours – Paradox Activation Complete

The sky didn't crack.

It froze.

Wind stopped. Clouds held still like painted brushstrokes.

And in the bunker, every rune Rin had set… failed.

> [System Echo Detected. Thread Re-injection In Progress.]

[ROOT_THREAD_PARADOX: SYNC: 100%]

A figure stepped through the containment vault—

Identical.

But empty.

No fire. No fear. No memory.

Only intention.

> "You kept her," he said.

> "I erased mine."

⚔️ Clone Rin Enters the Real World

He walked into the house like he'd lived there his whole life.

Lilith stood between him and Aira.

> "I'm not running."

Paradox Rin tilted his head.

> "You never had a right to exist. You were a debugged experiment."

> "Your survival fractured the timeline."

She stepped forward.

> "I didn't survive it."

> "I rewrote it."

---

⚠️ Aira Glitches

Aira clutched her head.

> "They're both… real."

> "The world doesn't know which one to follow."

> [Dual Root Conflict Detected]

[Split Timeline Probability: 89%]

Reality shimmered.

The ground flickered beneath them—one half showing a flower field…

The other, a godless void.

⚡ Rin Arrives – The Original

Soulburn pulsed in his hand.

The blade burned with grief, memory, and madness.

He stepped into the rift, facing his other self.

> "You erased her in your world."

> "In mine, she saved it."

Paradox Rin drew Nullquill—a weapon made from unfinished timelines.

> "Then prove your rewrite is worth keeping."

> "Let's show the world which version of Rin deserves to be written in."

✨ Lilith Interrupts

She raised her hand—staring at both of them.

Tears burned in her eyes.

> "I'm done being the reason you both destroy this world."

Her aura flared—raw, chaotic, beautiful.

> "I'll fight too."

> "Not for a side."

> "For myself."

---

Final Scene – World Split Incoming

The sky cracked.

> [ROOT THREAD FISSURE IMMINENT. SELECT ONE CORE TO CONTINUE.]

[RIN_ORIGINAL]

[RIN_PARADOX]

Aira looked up.

> "Only one version of this world will survive."

> "And I don't think either of you knows what you're willing to lose… to win."
