He couldn't help those on the brink of death, he couldn't stop people from walking towards tragic fates, he couldn't save those who could be saved, or undo the mistakes that could be undone!
Clearly, this world has so many, even infinitely large possibilities... but Scott can only choose one path... a path that is ordinary and full of sorrow!
But...
But.
That child is different.
Recalling the white figure, Scott stopped crying.
No.
That person is different.
In Scott's mind appeared the image of Ian. Although just a child, he was far more mature than himself. No, that shouldn't be called a child, but a person more mature than himself.
Because he could change the fates of others, turning them in a better direction.
Ian... is the person Scott desires to become but cannot.
Since childhood, Scott felt that the world he lived in wasn't quite right.
