**EXT. CITY SQUARE - CONTINUOUS**
Valentine raises his hands slowly, but his eyes never leave the enforcers.
We're not here to cause trouble. We're here to fix what you've broken.
The enforcer leader laughs coldly.
Broken? This timeline is perfection. Order. Control. You're the anomaly here.
Valentine glances at Thorne and Elara, then back at the enforcers.
Then you leave me no choice.
He snaps his fingers, and time seems to freeze around them. The enforcers freeze mid-stride, their expressions locked in confusion.
Now, we go. Before they realize what happened.
He leads Thorne and Elara through the frozen crowd, moving quickly toward the Chronos Tower.
