[Furn's pov]

"Ah..." Clutching the side of my head I try to focus up ahead. Memories of the other timeline are coming back. I have to do something different than before, but what? How can I 'grow' Ru? 

"Yare yare." I murmured. Activating my sharingan, I tried to replay the actions I did in the other timeline, if possible I want to put a genjustu on Ru and Orsted. Now I have to figure out which part of the interactions I am in between meeting Orsted and fighting him.

"Steak'n'fries..." Kurama poked Estalle. "You're shaking."

'So we're at the beginning. DIO did say the Orsted would remember what happened in the other timeline. I guess that means he's wary of me now.'

 Kurama takes a defensive position, stepping in front of Ruijerd and the others. Ru looked ahead of the snow, likely waiting for who to come. I thought of a plan on how to change this event. The basis is already laid out but executing it would need more time. Time which I don't have.

Looking ahead, I saw 2 figures, most likely Orsted and his companion. Seems like Orsted stopped the second he saw who the figures were on his side. 

'Will he come and attack me first or do something different?' 

"Furn..." Orsted's voice spoke through the windy snow in the cavern.

"Orsted..." I replied back.

"Huh? You guys know each other?" Ru asked.

"You can say we had a bit of an interaction," I answered. Orsted nodded, likely not wanting to lash out at seeing Ru.

Glancing at the group, everyone but Ru and Kurama weren't shaking. I tapped Kurama and whispered something to him. Looking at me with confusion he was about to ask questions. 

"Just do it. The better it goes, the better things can be managed." I sighed. 

"Ugh. Fine, fine. Do I take the brat with me?" Kurama questioned.

"No. He stays with me. I need to make him grow. And the best way is the saddest way." I answered.

"Alright." Kurama shrugged. Taking with him the rest, he ran to a secluded area of the cavern away from the view of the 4 of us. 

Ru looked confused at what Kurama did and looks at me for answers. I patted his shoulder and told him to not worry about it. Looking at me, Ru reluctantly shook his head. 

"Well, Orsted. You can do what you want to do but we're changing it up." I said.

Orsted didn't speak and had a look of confusion. 

'Tsukuyomi!'. Alright, phase 1 is complete. Putting Orsted in a genjustu what I need now I need to do the same to Ru and maybe that girl. But her abilities are unknown to me. It's best if I knock her out super fast. 

"Rudeus." 

"Wha- Hey, that's the first time you said my proper name!" 

"It's good that it brought your attention immediately. And well, don't resent me for this." I said looking at him.

"What do you mean?". 

"This." Casting tsukuyomi on him, his eyes looked dead, his body maintained the same position. 'Alright, phase 2 complete.' 

Now for the girl. 

Walking up to her, the girl looked at Orsted, then back at me. Seeing no reaction from Orsted she screamed at me. Paying no mind to it, I came closer. Raising my arm as I came closer, the girl tried to run. Paralyzing her from a lightning justu did the trick.
