Zero returned to the abandoned building the following night.
He hadn't intended to.
There was nothing left for him to discover there.
Earth Zero had taken most of the papers.
The remaining records were only fragments.
Incomplete sequences.
Names without explanations.
Events marked as altered.
Yet Zero found himself standing outside the same broken door.
The night was quiet.
Too quiet.
He stepped inside.
The room at the back was almost empty now.
The walls where hundreds of pages had once been pinned were bare.
Only small pieces of paper remained.
Zero walked toward the table.
One sheet had been left behind.
He didn't know whether Earth Zero had forgotten it.
Or wanted him to find it.
Zero picked it up.
There were two columns.
On the left—
Expected path.
On the right—
Current path.
The first few entries were familiar.
Tower of Obelisk.
No significant difference.
Zero Elea exits the Tower.
No significant difference.
Zero frowned.
