🌠 Narration — Kentarō's Voice
"They used to say she came from the stars.I used to believe it.How else could someone like her fall into a world like mine?"
🕊️ Scene 1 – The Ordinary World She Rebuilt
There were no timelines left to break.No timelines to save.
Just the one they were living — fragile, unfinished, breathtaking in its normality.
Sarah sat by the window in the morning light, steam rising from her cup.Kentarō watched her from the kitchen doorway, like always.He had learned not to ask for forever.Only for the next day.
"Do you remember our first argument?" she asked one morning, smiling.
"You mean the apple stand?" he laughed.
"No. The real one."
"When I told you to stop trying to protect me."
He paused.
"You never needed protecting."
"But I needed you to know that."
🍂 Scene 2 – Letters Never Sent
On the anniversary of the day the loop broke, Sarah left an envelope on the bench near the river.
Inside: a letter.
"To the version of you who never made it,I still love you.Even in the timelines that died.Even in the ones that never existed."
Kentarō never read it.
But he saw her smile as she let it go.
🌌 Scene 3 – The Heaven She Built
Everyone always asked Kentarō:
"Was she an angel?""Did she fall from the sky?""Was she created by Chronos?"
He never had the heart to answer.
Because the truth was harder:
She wasn't from heaven.
She built it —From broken timelines,From collapsing dreams,From a thousand versions of goodbye.
And each time she remembered,she chose to love him again.
Not because fate told her to.
Because she wanted to.
🕰️ Scene 4 – Years Later, Still Here
The golden watch stopped ticking a long time ago.
But their lives didn't.
They traveled.They aged.They failed.They healed.
And sometimes, under soft skies or noisy trains or a random fruit stand, Kentarō would still see fragments:
A girl brushing her hair behind her ear the way Sarah used to in Timeline 44.
A reflection in the train glass that looked like Daichi.
A dream where Yūto waved goodbye and smiled without sadness.
But Kentarō never chased them.
He'd turn to Sarah beside him and say:
"Still here?"
She'd answer,
"Always."
🌙 Final Scene – One Last Time, The Rooftop
In their old age, they visited the rooftop again.
Not as students.Not as time travelers.But as two people who remembered everything and still chose this.
The moon hung low.The sky was quiet.
Sarah leaned against his shoulder and whispered:
"This is heaven, you know."
"Not the loops. Not the timelines."
"Just this."
Kentarō smiled, fingers interlocked with hers.
"Then I was never trying to fix time."
"I was just trying to get back here."
✨ Closing Lines – A Voiceover Echoing Eternity
"She didn't come from heaven.She made it — here.With her voice, her memory, her defiance.And all I had to do was meet her halfway."
And this time… we stayed.
