The moment they stepped back into the Femboy Adventuring Guild, the familiar, chaotic energy of the place washed over Kenjiro. It was a comforting, almost nostalgic sensation. The script was back on track, the world was playing by his rules, and he was, for the moment, in complete control. But the encounter with Seraphina had left a deep, unsettling crack in his confidence. A single, unexpected splash of holy water had proven that this timeline was not a perfect carbon copy of the last. It was volatile, unpredictable. He needed data. He needed to know if anything else had changed.
He stormed through the main hall, ignoring the curious stares of the other adventurers, and made a beeline for Ryo, who was leaning against the reception counter, a self-satisfied smirk on his face as he watched the new Lily make a scene. Kenjiro snatched a guild-issued scanner from a nearby table.
"Go," he commanded, shoving the device into Ryo's hands. "Analyze my status."
