"To break a curse, you must first remember who wished it."
Scene 1: Tokyo Sky – The World Cracks Open
May 7, 2011 – 6:01 PM
Gasps echoed through the city.
Phones slipped from trembling hands.
Above Japan, reality itself had split wide—like the sky had been slashed with a blade forged in forgotten grief. Suspended in the heavens was not just a crack… but a second world, a mirror Earth, inverted and colorless.
And floating high above both worlds…
Was Souta.
Or so it seemed.
"That's not me," Souta whispered from the rooftop of Yoyogi Academy.
His real body trembled.
Because up there—within the inverted world—stood a reflection of himself. But the boy wasn't smiling.
He was grinning. Coldly. Hungrily.
Scene 2: Underground Divine Chamber – Souta's Heartspace
10 minutes earlier
In the silence of his secret sanctuary, Souta knelt before the black mirror. His palm hovered, a breath away from breaking it. The mirror pulsed like a heartbeat.
"Let go," the reflection whispered."Let the world burn. And I'll let your family stay safe inside you forever."
He almost said yes.
Almost.
But then he remembered Ai's voice—not the one mimicked, but the one that hummed lullabies to him at 3 AM.
The one that cried silently when she thought the kids were asleep.
The one that never asked to be loved back… and loved anyway.
He opened his eyes.
"I'd rather die… than lose what made me human."
He crushed the black mirror with trembling fingers.
But instead of shattering—
It bled.
Scene 3: Hoshino Residence – Shaking Foundations
6:06 PM
Ai dropped to her knees, clutching her chest.
"Something's pulling at me… memories… that never happened—!"
Ruby knelt beside her, tears forming. "Mama, what's wrong?!"
Aqua, pale and cold, whispered, "It's rewriting timelines. It's trying to change what we remember… who we are."
Happy leapt into the center of the room, glowing like a lantern.
"It's no longer just watching.It's entering. Through your regrets."
Ai's eyes widened as a memory surfaced—
Her holding her triplets, but Souta wasn't there. Only Aqua. Only Ruby.
And she smiled anyway.
"NO!!" she screamed, hugging Souta tight as if he'd vanish."You were always mine—you were always there!"
Souta staggered through the door at that moment, clutching his chest.
"Mama… it's started."
Scene 4: Yoyogi Academy – Mirror Warping Begins
6:19 PM
Classrooms warped.
Reflections in windows stopped syncing.
Students screamed as shadows stretched against light sources. Teachers fainted. Friends vanished mid-sentence.
The first wave had begun: The Mirror Rewriting Phase.
In the film club room, Akane reached for her phone—only to find it filled with photos of a life she never lived. She was smiling with strangers. No Ruby. No Kana. No Aqua.
She whispered, "This… isn't me."
Just then, Aqua burst in, out of breath.
"Don't trust your memories. We're fighting a god that un-makes you by making you forget."
Kana stared at her reflection in the window. "Then what's real anymore…?"
Aqua touched her shoulder."Whatever we choose to protect."
Scene 5: Souta's Realization – The Final Power
6:33 PM
Standing at the edge of the sky, staring at the world unraveling, Souta realized the truth.
"This thing isn't a god.It's what's left after a god dies."
A failed concept.A forgotten wish.A soul so shattered it turned into a curse.
"It's not trying to kill us.It's trying to become us… one memory at a time."
And yet—Souta felt no anger. Only sorrow.
"You were like me once, weren't you?" he whispered."Alone. Forgotten. Wishing someone would hold you."
He opened his hand.
His eyes blazed with new power—not to control…
…but to undo even divine intent.
Final Scene: Sky Over Shibuya – The Choice
The inverted Souta—the Mirror—descended slowly.
Face to face.
The real Souta whispered:
"You can't have what I have."
The Mirror blinked. "Why?"
Souta smiled. "Because I earned it. I bled for it. I chose it."
The Mirror sneered. "Then die with it."
The sky screamed as the Mirror raised its hand, black waves tearing through the horizon.
Just then—
A hand gripped Souta's shoulder.
Ai.
Followed by Aqua. Ruby. Kana. Akane. Happy.
Even Miyako, tears in her eyes.
All standing beside him.
"We're with you," Ai said."No matter what's coming."
Souta's eyes widened.
"Then I'll protect you all…"
He raised his hand—and for the first time, his own reflection obeyed him.
Until—
The Mirror smiled.
"Then let's see… if you can protect them from this."
It stabbed through the sky—shattering reality into endless shards—
And Souta screamed as time itself broke.
