I Have Too Many Wings

Tina was standing beside the ruins of what used to be a gas station.

After withdrawing her gaze from the megalithic monument, she looked at her feet.

There was supposed to be a wooden plaque, beneath which was buried a damned son who was shot.

It was she who buried the other party.

Now, however, the wooden sign and the small mound are gone, as are the corpses below.

"Tina, do you want to come? I've been waiting for you for a long time."

Beside Tina, a little girl in a clean dress asked her a question.

"Ayako, is it really as good as you said?" Tina confirmed.

"Of course, there are free food, clothes, and shelter there. As long as you believe in God, you can get anything." Ayako said seriously.

After a pause, she added:

"That's right... the teachers there are so fierce. If you haven't finished your homework, you'll be beaten in the palm of your hand."

"So...then I won't go." Tina shook her head.

"Huh? No...that, the teacher is also for our own good, you go back with me, you are alone anyway..."

"No, I'm going to wait for my brother, he's out on errands and coming back soon."

"Brother? All right."

Ayako could only give up and turned to leave.

Before leaving, she did not forget to turn her head and shout:

"Tina, if you change your mind, you can come over at any time, the place is..."

……

After sending Ayako away, Tina walked towards the indoor station.

The investigation is over, the reason has been figured out, and you can go back.

"It seems that Mr. Rorschach has gone back to the past and changed history."

Tina made a judgment in her heart.

The group members will not be reset because of the change of the world line, she still remembers what happened yesterday.

Just yesterday, a girl named Ayako was shot.

The body was still buried by her, right where Ayako died - the ruins of a gas station.

She set up a wooden plaque for the other party as a tombstone, but there was no name on the wooden plaque, because she didn't know the other party's name.

then.

Today, when she came out again to investigate the situation of the cursed child in the Tokyo area, she came across the living Ayako.

After some questioning, she learned the other party's name and the reason for the other party's "survival".

An organization that didn't exist before appeared in the Tokyo area.

The history of Ayako's death was changed by the butterfly effect caused by this group.

Only she remembered that Ayako had died once.

Tina recalled the scene when she and the other party met before history changed.

The incident happened yesterday afternoon.

When she was investigating the situation in the shopping street near the outer district, a girl broke through the human wall and rushed out in front of her.

The girl is Ayako, holding a supermarket shopping basket full of food, the logo on the basket belongs to a large company.

Her outfit was a belted denim skirt and matching white tunic, but just like her dark face, the clothes had not been washed for a long time, were dirty, and had patches everywhere.

I'm afraid this dress, like the food in her arms, was stolen.

From those red eyes, it can be seen that she is the cursed child who lives in the outer peripheral area.

Numerous hands stretched out from behind, interrupting Tina and Ayako's gaze.

The adults grabbed Ayako's back with their hands and pushed her down roughly, and Tina clearly heard the shrill sound of bones rubbing against each other.

The fruits and vegetables in the basket that Ayako was holding fell to the floor.

"Thief, you are trash in the Tokyo area!"

"Damn murderer!"

"If you red ghosts hadn't killed all my relatives..."

"Go to hell!"

The adults ignored Ayako's pained cry of "let me go" and pressed her to the ground, beating and kicking her.

Tina wanted to help the other party out of danger, but soon two police officers came and held Ayako.

Seeing that this collective lynching situation finally ended, Tina was relieved.
