Chapter 16 - Chapter 13 : A Glimpse into the Future

As the sun began to set, casting a warm, golden hue over the town, Akg and Sizuka strolled home together, their laughter lingering in the crisp air. Their shoulders brushed occasionally, electric and innocent, as they shared stories about their day. It was a perfect moment, simple yet meaningful, filled with the kind of warmth that ignites the heart.

Meanwhile, on the opposite end of the town, Nobita was sprinting home, his breaths coming heavy and fast as a storm brewed inside his heart. The reality of what had just transpired weighed heavily upon him. Upset and overwhelmed, he bolted through the front door and rushed into the living room, where Doremon sat, enjoying his beloved dorayaki.

"Doremon! You'll never believe what happened!" Nobita gasped, his voice breaking as he began to sob uncontrollably. "Sizuka and Akg are a couple now!"

Doremon, still munching on his snack, paused and responded nonchalantly, "Oh, so what? Akg is nice and smart, so it's no surprise Sizuka chose him."

Nobita's heart sank deeper. "What do you know?! I like her too! You told me before that in the future, Sizuka would be my wife!" The words erupted from him like a volcano of anguish.

Hearing this, Doremon sighed, trying to cushion Nobita's feelings. "Nobita, the future is never set in stone. It changes every time, just as I told you. The future I showed you when I first came here was about you marrying Jaiko, Gyan's sister."

That hit Nobita hard, the reality felt crushing. "Doremon, why can't you just use the Future TV to see how things play out?" he pleaded, desperation lacing his voice.

At Nobita's desperate request, Doremon felt sorry for him. The little robotic cat reached into his pocket and pulled out the Future TV, which gleamed with potential. Nobita's eyes lit up at the sight, hope igniting amidst the shadows of despair.

Holding his breath, he pressed the button to reveal his future, and soon the device began to glow, unfolding a scene in front of them. There, captured in vivid detail, was Nobita married to Jaiko, surrounded by three cheerful kids, living a happy life. But instead of joy, tears filled Nobita's eyes, and he started sobbing again. "Doremon, why is this my fate?"

Doremon couldn't help but feel pity for his friend. "Nobita, don't be upset. Your future isn't all bad," he offered, trying his best to comfort him. "Why don't we check Akg's future with the TV instead?"

Nobita nodded, though his heart was still heavy. Doremon pressed another button, but nothing appeared on the screen. Silence hung in the air, heavy and awkward. Frustration bubbled inside Nobita. "Doremon, this TV is trash! It's not showing anything!" His anger flared.

Doremon remained quiet, understanding that confronting Nobita in this state would lead to more chaos. Yet he was taken aback that the Future TV failed to display Akg's future. That was strange; it shouldn't happen at all. What Doremon didn't realize was that the power to see Akg's future was shielded by the very system that guided Akg's journey.

Meanwhile, unbeknownst to them, Akg was at home, soaking in the peaceful evening atmosphere. He was completely unaware of Nobita's turmoil and heartache. Relaxing in his room, he felt content, wrapped in thoughts of Sizuka and their shared moment on the rooftop.

Even if he knew, he wouldn't be worried—his path was already set, and no one could interfere with it.
