A Rank 3 Leviathan.
An Adept.
Someone who has transcended the limitations I currently struggle against. Someone who can manipulate weeks of timeline as easily as I might rewind a single day.
The realization crashes over me like a tidal wave, and for the first time since this investigation began, I feel something I haven't allowed myself to feel.
—True fear.
Crippling terror so real I can taste it.
I sit alone in my quarters, hands trembling, mind racing through impossible scenarios. Every plan I formulate collapses under the weight of what I'm facing.
'How do I fight someone who can simply erase my victories?' I think, despair creeping in. 'How do I save anyone when my enemy controls the very fabric of time itself?'
I'm only a Rank 1 Leviathan.
A Witness.
I can barely manipulate a single day's worth of timeline, and even that comes with enormous risk and cost.
Ciel is also Rank 1.
