Note: Cannot overwrite the main timeline.

Main Timeline

Main World Designation: Timeline Ω (Omega)

Ω-Line Status

Riko Amanai died during the Star Plasma Vessel incidentSuguru Geto defected in 2007 and later died during the Night Parade of a Hundred DemonsHis corpse was subsequently possessed by KenjakuSatoru Gojo remains the solitary strongest sorcererDeep System Record

α-Line Causal Channel: Established

Energy: 100%

Rule:

Each cross-timeline interference consumes energy.

If energy reaches zero—

The connection between timelines will permanently close.

Causal Resonance Effect

The possibility created in the α-line has begun leaking into the Ω-line.

System feedback:

Kenjaku's control over Geto's body reduced by 35%Residual instincts of Suguru Geto increasingPhysical memory rejection triggered when specific emotional stimuli occur

Additionally—

Gojo Satoru's perception of "Geto" now exhibits abnormal fluctuations.

Something inside him senses the difference.

Even if he cannot explain why.

Toji Fushiguro

α-line: Survived

Ω-line: Deceased

Causal feedback has generated faint soul-information resonance.

This resonance may influence the development of his son—

Megumi Fushiguro.

Yagami Sora opened his eyes.

Moonlight spilled across the dormitory floor like frost.

He was lying in his familiar bed at Tokyo Jujutsu High.

But his heartbeat was still fast.

Because he knew—

What he experienced was real.

The Alpha timeline existed.

A world he created.

A world he saved.

In that world—

Gojo and Geto were still best friends.

In that world—

Riko Amanai lived a normal life.

Perhaps she had already graduated from university.

Perhaps she had become an ordinary woman with ordinary happiness.

In that world—

The tragedy of that summer never happened.

"…So it wasn't a dream."

Sora whispered softly.

He stared at the ceiling.

Another world existed somewhere beyond time.

A different future.

A different possibility.

[Causal Resistance Activated]

Your will can no longer be easily altered by external fate.

Vector Operation — Black Wings

Status: Fully Unlocked

Additional Information Obtained

Weakness identified:

Suguru Geto (Kenjaku host body)

Key vulnerability: Residual physical memory rejection

The body still remembers.

Even if the mind controlling it is someone else.

Sora sat up and grabbed his phone.

The screen lit up.

A new message.

Sender:

Satoru Gojo

Sent 10 minutes ago.

[Sora! Something weird happened.]

[Geto just sent me Kikufuku sweets from Hokkaido.]

[Did he take the wrong medicine today?]

[Or did he finally realize how precious I am as his best friend?]

[HAHAHAHA!]

Sora stared at the message silently.

Gojo didn't know.

He didn't know that the one living inside Geto's body was Kenjaku.

And that monster would never send sweets.

So who sent it?

Possibility one:

Geto from the Alpha timeline.

Possibility two:

Residual instinct from Geto's original soul in the Omega timeline.

Possibility three—

A brief overlap between the two timelines caused by causal resonance.

Perhaps, for one fleeting moment—

Two worlds touched.

And someone pressed send.

Sora didn't know the answer.

But he understood something important.

The possibility of the Alpha timeline had been planted.

Like a seed in the soil of the Omega timeline.

As long as that world existed—

As long as they were happy there—

That causality would never disappear.

Sora placed the phone down.

Then walked to the window.

The eastern sky was already beginning to brighten.

A new day.

A new battlefield.

He opened the window.

Cool morning air flowed into the room.

Carrying the scent of grass from the school grounds.

"…Me from the Alpha timeline."

Sora whispered softly.

"You did well."

"The rest…"

"…leave it to me."

From outside—

Voices drifted up from the training field.

Yuji Itadori and Megumi Fushiguro were already training.

"Megumi! You're faster today!"

"…Shut up. Focus on your breathing."

"Haha! You don't like compliments!"

Sora leaned against the window.

Listening quietly.

Sunlight filtered through the leaves.

Shadows danced on the ground.

He closed his eyes.

Letting the morning wind brush against his face.

This—

Was the wind of the Omega timeline.

The world he chose to protect.

System Notice

[α-Line Causal Channel: Reserved]

Current Energy: 100%

Note:

Every "echo" is warmth left behind in another world.

—Cherish every encounter.

Sora exhaled slowly.

"…Time for breakfast."

He grabbed his uniform from the chair.

A new day had begun.

And like every ordinary morning—

It would start with miso soup in the cafeteria.
