I have relived the same years countless times. There came a point when I had been traveling for so long, that I looked into the mirror, and realized I could no longer pose as a high school student.

Still, I swore that no matter how many times it took, no matter how old I got, I would change our fate for us, and change the fate of the world for Nora. This time, I would refuse to let Nora make a contract with Alice in the first place. I'd fight the Devil all by myself if I had to. Time after time, I watched Nora die. I watched the world die. Sometimes it felt like I was dying. I searched through every possible outcome. I planned to do this until I had the ending that I wanted.
