Waking up with a headache was definitely not in Leon's plan, but it happened. The morning sun welcomed him with bright sunlight pouring through the windows.
As he sat up in a half-sleepy state, clarity returned to him and he finally realized something. His eyes snapped open as he turned to look at the time and date.
[07:23 AM, 17th January]
"What the hell!!?" A shocked shout left his mouth as he hurriedly turned to look at his tablet, in which he saw the same time and date.
"I actually managed to get back earlier?" Leon muttered, his voice carrying a mix of surprise and happiness.
The first time could have been just a one-off fluke, and he had almost started to believe that considering all his experiments had failed. But now that it happened again, it was clear he just needed to follow specific conditions to get back.
