Distortion 33

The 7th Hierarchical City of Kazomotsu, a tourist town that became important in revitalizing the Ikarugan region after the Ikarugan war. From the scenic views anybody can get from the various tourist vista spots, to the various restaurants and their various and different styles of preparing the same dish. If one were to win a ticket to rest and dine in this wonderful city, one would most certainly take it as their chance to do so.

And sitting on a bench was Sora, learning of the fact that the 7th hierarchical city was not called Kazomatsu but was in fact called Kazomotsu, holding the city's famous pizza with thick bacon and cheese and wearing a tacky tourist shirt that had the words, "Live Laugh Love Kazomotsu" printed on it. The scenery around him looked so wonderful yet his face looked so confused and puzzled by to what this trained veteran of war seemed to be this city's advertising strategy. If one wants to wonder how this happened…

We only need to turn back the clock to just half an hour ago to when Sora and Bullet first arrived to this city.

FLASHBACK

SORA POV

Waiting is something I often do not really like. Agreeing to return to the truck with Bullet was one thing but another thing was to wait for us to arrive at Kazomatsu. Bullet herself was sleeping after I had taken a few hours of sleep as I yawned a bit. I was not used to having a normal sleep schedule like this. Sleeping was something of a mystery to me still, each time I close my eyes I cannot help but subconsciously think I will be teleported to another strange land and be stranded once again.

There you go again Sora, thinking wacky stuff again that will not happen to you… is what I would have said if I had not already experienced the craziness that was the truth of my world being a plaything to some god and I was just a piece that had done it's part and now was going to be put away forever to be forgotten. Something about that still lingered in my head, was the role I was supposed to fulfill, to keep Hunter alive ever fulfilled?

Not that really matters to me right now. Sure I want him alive as much as someone like Noel would, but that only goes to the Hunter Long of my timeline. I could care less of the other Hunter Longs that exist in the other timelines. I am just focused on my goal of returning home at this point. Though maybe I can learn some things that could apply to my own timeline… the world doesn't seem to be that different from my own, maybe there is worth in learning more about it?

"Are we almost there yet?" I questioned the driver, hoping that I would at least have an idea of the distance to the city based on his answer. "We are just about there. Thankfully the security around Kazomotsu is not as tight as other Hierarchical cities so we should cruise in just fine." The driver said as I couldn't help but blink a few times hearing him say the city of Kazomatsu the way he did. "Ummm… Can you repeat the name of the hierarchical city again? I swore I heard you say it as Kazomotsu." I questioned.

"I mean...yes? That's the name of the Hierarchical city." The Driver said as I shook my head. For a brief moment, I thought I had actually gone insane for that brief second. All of the mind games in the world meant nothing when the fact that I have been pronouncing the name of a Hierarchical city wrong this whole time. Then I realized that I was overthinking about this like this was some end of the world threat and promptly pushed it to the back of my head before it got out of hand with my imagination.

"So… you mentioned that Kazoma...Motsu's security is not as tight as the other hierarchical cities, care to explain about that?" I questioned as the driver placed a finger on his chin at that. "Well it's mainly cuz Kazomotsu's a tourist city, when the Ikaruga war ended, Kazomotsu was the first city to recover and it only took half a year to do so." The driver explained as I couldn't help but nod his head at that, impressed at the city's ability to recover from such a traumatic event as if nothing had happened.

"If that's the case, isn't the money that Kazomotsu earning going towards the rebuilding of Ikaruga? It sounds like Kazomotsu makes a lot of money." I asked as he could hear a small sigh come from the driver. "It would have… if it wasn't for the NOL instituting a restriction on the amount of funds hierarchical cities can give to each other from a monthly basis to a yearly basis." The driver said as that was enough for me to understand that NOL politics got in the way of helping the republic to recover.

"And that's not all, with what is going on with Ragna the Bloodedge, tourism in the city has slowed down a bit. Sure there was the occasional pickpocket and robber in the city but an SSS criminal walking in and destroying your city's weather control system? Nobody wants to deal with that."The driver said as I couldn't help but perk up a bit hearing the name Ragna the Bloodedge come up. So he does exist in this world, that may be someone I can go and get help from… if I can convince that I am not an enemy...again… okay maybe talking to him is not going to be worth it.

"In any case, wake up the tomboy at the back, we are almost at the drop off point." The driver said as I took that as my cue to exit the discussion as much later, we finally stopped by the place we needed to be….a souvenir shop? Why a souvenir shop other than being a good front for a criminal who sells alcohol around the Hierarchical cities? Beats me but at least I don't have to go through the trouble of trying to figure that out.

"So that's it? Nothing else? No strings attached?" Bullet questioned as I could understand her skepticism. We were dealing with criminals not your average clients, of course you would expect some sort of hit squad to silence you from snitching on them but it truly seemed that Garlond was a man of his word in this case. "Yup. The money will be wired to your account Miss Bullet. As for your side of the cut Mr Minakaze, as agreed it will be paid in physical cash." The driver said as I couldn't' believe I actually forgot about the money before I left.

"Huh… you were about to leave broke huh…" Bullet said as I couldn't help but try and hide a blush coming from my face. I was very used to having so much money that I didn't know what to do with it. The realization that I was broke was enough to make me have another near death experience as I tried to hide my shame from Bullet before recomposing myself before my mind began to have funny ideas again. The last thing I wanted to deal with was having to learn how to manage money again as the driver walked up to me with an envelope.

"Judging from how I am able to just hand your pay from just an envelope, you must have used a lot of that pay on upgrading your equipment. Not a man to judge another man's spending habits, but probably should have saved some for a night out or a fancy dinner." The driver said as he walked into the souvenir shop to discuss things with the lady in there. Fancy dinner huh… that sounds like a good idea… after I get back to my own world at this point.

"Geez, how much did you actually spend?" Bullet wondered as in front of her I began to open my envelope, this made her reflexively look back as inside the envelope was not only the rest of the pay due to me but also the fake passport I asked for. "Just enough to get the job done and have enough for survival funds." I explained as the driver came back out… wearing the tackiest and most obvious tourist shirt I have ever seen.

"You might want to wear this, blend in and be a normal tourist, beats that tacky shirt you are wearing right now." The driver explained as I looked at the shirt and the logo that was printed on it. Seriously who thought that this was a good slogan to have your city be known by. "In any case, my part of the job is done. Time for me to head back and see what is my next job." The driver said as Bullet smiled. "You have been a good man, you take care out there." Bullet said as the driver simply nodded at that and was soon on his way to the next Hierarchical city that needed his services.

"Live...Laugh...Love...Kazomotsu…" I said, staring at this shirt with a bit of a blank stare on my face as I couldn't help but feel like I was slowly embracing the tourist lifestyle. At the rate I was going, I was probably going to see way more tourist spots than Makoto as I felt an urge to put on the shirt that I simply obliged as Bullet turned away. "So anyways, now that we are here…." I could hear the audible pause in her voice as she stared at me wearing this shirt and just blankly stared at me without saying a word.

"What? Do I look funny wearing this shirt?" I questioned as Bullet continued to stare at me with such a dumb look on her face. "Well… I mean… the shirt looks good on you… but at the same time… I feel like it's wrong at the same time with the kind of person you are." Bullet explained as I couldn't help but slowly process what she had just said before just nodding my head to what she said. "Maybe I should just take this shirt…" before I could finish that sentence, Bullet immediately placed a hand on my shoulder before shaking her head.

"Nah… keep it. It would be an easy way for me to find you as I go and find my information." Bullet said as I couldn't help but blink a few times hearing her say that. I thought we were going to part after this. "You know… so we can get something to eat together afterwards. Come on man we got paid, we might as well lighten up a little bit and splurge a bit before going our separate ways." Bullet explained as I couldn't help but look down a bit, wondering what I should say to that.

"Well, if you insist…" "Good. Because I was not going to take no for an answer!" Bullet said as she slapped my back hard before pointing towards a nearby pizza shop. "You see that pizza store, I heard you could get a Kazomotsu delicacy from there, I will pay you back later so think you can grab me a slice?" Bullet continued and before I could say anything else, she began to run off on her own, leaving me with just the sight of pizza, this tacky tourist shirt and barely a clue of what was actually happening other than…

...What on Earth is actually going on now…

'Sigh… this is a lot for just one guy to take in…' Sora thought to himself as he took a bite of the pizza in his mouth and sampled this famous dish of Kazomotsu. He could taste the wide variety of cheeses dance around his mouth with various levels of sharp fattiness present from the thick cut bacon itself. The taste itself was a rather complex dish that betrayed how simple it was but to Sora, Otsunian cuisine was still his favorite.

'I could probably steal this pizza back to Otsu and teach a chef there how to cook this recipe? We could call it counterfeit Kazomotsu pizza.' Sora thought as he briefly forgot that Otsu doesn't exist in this timeline as he couldn't help but feel saddened by that. Sure he was still determined to go back to his own timeline but even he has to feel sad at the current state of things in this timeline, feeling more like a person who was viewing the world as an outsider rather than being one of the people who actually lives in it.

'Is this what it feels like to be one of those observers? Having to watch someone or a group of people while they do their own thing?' Sora thought as he couldn't help but wonder about the gods and what they actually are. A few months ago, things like gods would have been the least of his worries but it seems like they have buried themselves in his mind as he couldn't help but wonder about the various philosophical theories about such gods.

Speaking of gods… that woman he met, Izanami, was that really a god who descended down from whatever place he came from to speak to someone like him? No that wasn't the case, he was probably insignificant in her bigger picture and just decided to amuse herself by talking to him. What gives him less comfort is the fact that she was seen with the green haired snake of all people. Then again, if she has the name of a goddess of death, then the company she decides to keep would actually match.

But that shouldn't be what he should be focusing on at that moment. Getting home is much more important, not finding out which god is planning on fucking with him next. But no matter how much he thought about it, he seemed to have struck a dead end on his search. He could spend the rest of his life searching through the entire world but it doesn't seem like unless he finds an expert on this whole world business, he was going to be stuck on this timeline for the rest of his life.

"If only I could talk to Amy again…" Sora said as he took a bite from his pizza before realizing what he had just said. He couldn't help but feel a sense of confusion hit him as he still wondered what Amy was doing this whole time. Even though she was an enemy… that doesn't really erase the time they had spent with each other during the academy years. As much as he would like to distance himself from that time in his life, seeing and talking to her as much as he did… seeing her as anything but an enemy is difficult.

"As if she would just drop in again to speak with someone like me… not without a fight anyways." Sora said as he finished his pizza and figured he might as well go and buy a slice for Bullet to eat. Sure they were going to go their separate ways but he still owed her for the meal she gave him the day he found himself back in the world of the living. As he walked towards the pizza store, the air around him began to change as this did not escape his senses. He did not know what was going to happen but he knew he had to be ready for anything.

Sora's hand began to drift towards the gun on his hip as he couldn't help but feel prepared for anything. At that moment, suddenly the world became back around him, cluing him that he needed to be prepared for battle right now and for whatever reason it may be. He couldn't help but feel reminded of a certain scene he was already very used to as he drew his gun out, his eyes scanned for the threat as he made sure his shooting arm was not fully extended as to give this intruder the chance to cut his only other hand off.

It was a good decision he made that as suddenly, a blade came flying down, attempting to slice his hand off but because it was not fully drawn, Sora was just able to jump back while pulling his arm back, protecting both his arm and his life as he knew he had to quickly react and fired a shot towards the sword itself, the metal sparked upon contact and briefly lit the area around them as he waited for his attacker to make a response.

"To think you would be so quick as to fire a bullet in the middle of an eclipse field… you truly are something else…" The person spoke as Sora couldn't help but feel like as long as he thinks about someone hard enough, they would just magically pop up in front of him like some sort of Deus Ex Machina and just be there to greet him. Whether that was actually a good thing to have or not, there was only one thing that needed to be said at that moment.

Sora: What the hell are you doing here Amy?

Amy:… I can ask the same about you Sora Minakaze

Sora: You know why I am here, I escaped whatever the Master Unit was trying to do to me and ended up in this world, this timeline as a result

Amy: At least I know you are the real deal and not a version that slip through the cracks… I just cannot believe I found you finally

Sora: And I cannot believe you haven't just tried taking my head off again… or was just that a warning strike?

Sora did not have to wait for a response as he had to immediately dodge another attack that came from his back. He then pointed the gun towards the sky and fired a bullet, delivering a quick strike with the barrel of the gun that soon struck metal as he was soon face to face with Amy, their eyes locked onto each other as his eyes glanced over the entire arena, letting him assess what was actually happening.

"Is this another one of your tricks Amy? Creating areas of black that you can fight me in so that nobody else has to see what is going on?" Sora questioned as Amy couldn't help but feel a sense of surprise that Sora was able to notice such a thing. "Come on, don't be surprised. The way this arena is all pitch black? Only someone with high level magic or access to technology they shouldn't have access to are able to use stuff like this." Sora continued as he managed to overpower Amy to get a glimpse of her face when he deduced what was going on.

"So what if you figured it out. It doesn't change the fact that we are fighting right now!" Amy said as she overpowered him back, creating distance once again as Sora assessed that she was mainly a hit and run type of fighter, moving in and out with her blade as to not let Sora get any advantage by striking her with physical attacks. Sora looked at how many rounds he had left before deciding how he should handle his next attack.

'Four bullets left… again… I am starting to see a pattern of how I am using this thing.' Sora thought as instead of obliging to her fighting technique, Sora used the gun to create distance between both himself and Amy, firing two more bullets in the process as he felt his back hit something hard, telling him that there was a limited range he could move around this space and the wall behind him was that very boundary.

"YOU'RE WIDE OPEN!" Amy shouted as Sora quickly and swiftly attached the bayonet onto his gun and pointed the gun towards the wall. He waited for Amy to get closer before firing a bullet right at the ground, sending him right into the air as Amy's attack left her back exposed as she tried to quickly turn around to meet Sora in the air only to see that he had already disappeared from the air. Before she could question where he had gone, she felt something poke on her back as she realized what happened.

"Seriously? I had forgotten that before you even had that drive of yours, you were already ridiculous to an extent." Amy complimented as Sora was right behind her, pressing his bayonet on her back as she waited for the shot to come through. "You know such compliments mean nothing to me...but it's time for you to answer some of my questions." Sora questioned as Amy knew that Sora could just have shot her at that point and be done with her but there seemed to be something else on his mind at that point.

"First question, What have you done to Makoto." Sora simply questioned, not wasting any time to ask about what could have possibly happened to Makoto as he knew the Master Unit was not going to let any trace of his existence go if he still lived. Amy wanted to lie but the look on Sora's face told her otherwise as she took a deep breath. "She's currently fine back at the world you came through… unfortunately she's not also awake as of this mo…"

Before she could finish that sentence, she felt the blade pierce through her clothes and right into her skin as she could see Sora's eyes flare up with anger. He held back from fully stabbing her but she knew it was better to just answer his question quickly before he really stabbed her at that moment. "I...We did nothing to her. In fact she rendered herself unconscious and in a coma to save you." Amy explained quickly not out of fear for her life but to clear up any misunderstandings as she noticed Sora loosen a bit his grip on his gun as a sense of relief struck him at that moment.

'To think she would actually answer my question like that… whatever Makoto did must have been that big of a deal…' Sora thought as he knew further answers were needed. "Then why haven't you tried killing her? Why go after me instead?" Sora questioned as his face returned to a look of seriousness as Amy could see his finger go towards his trigger finger, ready to fire and blow her sides open. "Because whatever she did… It's caused a rip in the timeline. If we tried to kill her while that rip exists, there may be consequences." Amy explained as Sora's mind continued to reel in the information he was receiving.

"In that case, how did you find me? Did you just view every timeline before finding me or something else?" Sora questioned as Amy could have just struck him at that moment but she knew Sora was not going to be the type of person who she could just take unaware and overpower, he was conscious and aware of her every move and was trying to not do anything that may make even a single weak spot be exposed as she knew that Sora was trying to just gather information about his current situation to make an educated guess as she figured, he was lost at this point and was just trying to get back home to Makoto.

And that was something that was not lost on Amy as she knew what Sora was trying to do. "Well… we just had to look for you hard enough. After all, it is not that hard to notice when something about a timeline changes in a way that was not intended." Amy said as Sora bit down on his lip, realizing he had just basically gift wrapped the answer to Amy and knew he needed his questions to be more specific and not as wide as that question was.

"In that case, Are you here to kill me...or bargain?" Sora said, deciding to not dance around the current issue in front of him. He did not know if Amy right now was friend or foe and had automatically gone to treating her like she was hostile without a second thought. "That will depend on you… Do you wish to trust me or are you content flailing your arms around as you aimlessly find your way back home?" Amy questioned as Sora bit down harder on his lips, realizing that Amy had read him like a book. Sure he could play hard to get but what would that get him?

"So if you know why I am trying to to do… Why haven't you tried to attempt continue killing me? We are at range and you can do so easily… and not to mention if you know this much about my current situation you must at least be aware of what I am trying to do currently." Sora said, realizing that if she did know this much about his current situation, she could have easily killed him while he was unaware as she did have that ghostly form she could take that would allow her to easily sneak up behind him and kill him. Truly this was turning into a battle of information and whoever had the better piece of information would win in this case.

Now it was Amy's turn to sweat a bit as Sora lightened his grip on his gun, prompting Amy to try and slice him down only for her to reflexively hold back her attacking, stopping it just at Sora's waist where he couldn't help but smile. He had been prepared to dodged the attack, he purposely relieved the tension to allow Amy to react but was ready to react himself to whatever attack she tried. While it was dangerous to stop at the last minute like he had done, he also had placed his trust on his now sharpening instincts and they were slowly coming back to him

"Why hesitate? That was your chance." Sora said as he and Amy created distance from each other once again, ready to begin attacking each other again but now the situation had changed. Instead of a direct fight, it had become a kind of western stand off. The two were now in a standstill, one waiting for the other to act and make a mistake or bargain for information. "I did not hesitate… I merely gave you the chance to escape." Amy lied as Sora knew she lied and took advantage of it.

"Then come on then. I am right here." Sora gestured, standing still and not even raising his gun towards her as Amy took a deep breath before charging right at Sora, blade in the air as she swung. Sora himself was ready to move to the side should she actually commit to her attack but didn't need to do anything more other than lightly walk to the left as Amy's attack was wild, feeling the barrel of Sora's gun press on her back once again.

"So care to explain why you are hesitating? I was open right then and there." Sora said as it was Amy's turn to bite down on her lips as she realized she was hesitating in doing her task. Whether it was due to her old friendship with him or the orders given to her by the Master unit, she knew that trying to strike down Sora Minakaze now with how she was is not going to work. "Fine… The master unit ironically needs you to return back to your timeline so that we can mend the rift Makoto Nanaya created before it gets worse." Amy explained as Sora was now getting a better picture of what was going on.

Makoto Nanaya, girlfriend and certified lunatic at times, still managed to remember him due to the actions he took in Kagutsuchi to preserve her memories. She spent the next few months trying to find a way and eventually did and whatever she did was now causing problems in god's master plan, problems that ironically only his return back to his timeline would fix. Sora couldn't help smile at that as he now knew that Makoto was trying to get him back and somehow did something to help lay the way towards that goal. Now it was up to him to get back to her and in one piece.

"So… How do I get back home? My home." Sora questioned as Amy remained quiet, unsure if she should just tell him what was the solution. 'The master unit approves of you telling him the information.' A voice rung in Amy's head, prompting her to raise her head and press her back on Sora's gun further. 'Es? Are you sure?' Amy answered, speaking through a method that Sora couldn't listen on their conversation as he hated the silence he was receiving but knew better than to push back or suffer a setback as a result.

"… You can return home by using a cauldron to try and jump through the various timelines." Amy suggested as Sora finally had his method of returning home. He could just go to the nearest cauldron and jump right into it to try and get back home. But something did not sit right with him about this idea. "If that is the case, what will happen to a person designated as an Error like me? What will happen if they jump through the cauldron?" Sora questioned, wanting to make sure he covered his bases.

'Ummm…. Has anybody, let alone an error actually used a cauldron to return back to their timeline?' Amy asked Es as she could feel Es consulting the greater consciousness of the azure for answers. 'There is only 1 individual that was recorded… Makoto Nanaya.' Es reported as Amy shook her head, unable to feel like Sora and Makoto Nanaya were individuals that were becoming more and more intertwined with each other than they had originally thought. She wondered how she should answer Sora in this case.

"...Only 1 recorded individual has ever made a trip through another alternate world and returned back to their original world. They were not an Error but a resident of the normal timeline." Amy explained as Sora thought about what Amy had just said and was quick to piece back the dots. "You mean Makoto...don't you." Sora said as Amy's eyes widened hearing that. "How did you…" "Me and Makoto met back in Kagutsuchi, she told me about her trip to an alternate world. I am guessing that is what happened." Sora quickly summarized.

"Ahh… so there was a blind spot after all with the Error process." Amy said as Sora could not understand what she meant by that nor did he want to understand, all he knew was that he had finally found a ticket out of here and he had his solution to returning home. "So...what will you do now? Return home as you say you will?" Amy questioned as Sora paused hearing that, deciding that there was no need for hostility anymore, sensing that he needed to stay alive for those in the Azure to achieve their goal.

"… Not yet. Something about what you said tells me I need to gather more information." Sora said, surprising Amy as she had figured Sora would have taken the first opportunity to jump into the nearest cauldron to get back home. "Firstly, the way Makoto described it, I will need a way of focusing on the timeline I need to go back to, I don't know how Makoto did it but I will need to replicate that." Sora said.

Now that he had the solution presented to him, he knew now was not the time to rush. He needed to make sure his bases were covered and that he did not do anything that would cause the opposite of what he needed to happen. "Also… I have been away for a couple of months now, even if this is an alternate timeline, these timelines must have a pattern to them do they not?" Sora said, making Amy raise her eyebrow before receiving word from Es.

"Yes. They are linked to the same birthing point, when the person known as Hunter Long was saved from his fate by sacrificing the life of the Error… you to do so." Amy explained as Sora nodded his head at that, a better picture now forming as he had his plan of how he was going to approach things now forming on his mind. "What are you planning to do now? How are you going to approach things with the knowledge that you have now?" Amy questioned as Sora thought about what she said.

He could have told her his whole plan, say what it is and let her go on her own way while she spied on him from a distance, waiting for her chance to strike. But something about that for some reason did not sit well with him. If that was the case, she could have killed him already. Whether it be when he was first found in the forest, the assassination attempt at Akitsu-Ko or even while he was trying to leave the border. This was based on a hunch, but maybe there was something more to this that he did not know, that he could exploit to get more information on his side.

"Why should I tell you? You would just be spying on me from afar like usual. There's no need for me to say a word in this case." Sora said as Amy noticed what Sora was doing. Now that Sora was aware that he was being watched and for some reason, he was not being eliminated despite being deemed a high level threat, he was now taking advantage of that as Amy wondered what she should do in this case.

"But if you want to observe me and learn what I am doing… I only have one condition." Sora said as Amy knew this was it, Sora was going to bargain with her and she had to listen to it carefully and consider the possibilities it would bring. "No more games, no more hiding at the corner or this stealth bullshit. If you want to observe me, observe me right at my face." Sora said, stating it as a challenge of sorts as he knew what he was asking for and had considered his options.

Sure, he would be opening himself for a possible attack from Amy at close range but at the same time, he would be prepared for said ambush because she would be at a distance he would be aware of. Sure he didn't have a drive for the time being, but he didn't need a drive to be constantly aware of the threat that he could be easily cut down by a foe who would be looking for any chance to take him down but that is something that being a former mercenary would be fine with doing. But there is another advantage of doing things like this, he makes the choice easier for Amy.

'What should we do Es? You heard the error's offer.' Amy questioned as the offer Sora proposed seemed to be very enticing. While yes, it would be weird for someone observing to observe their target at such a close range and also risk exposing themselves to the world, it would be easier to monitor his every move and there would be no way for Sora to escape their gaze. Also he was already aware that they would be observing from a distance, meaning that he may attempt to do things that would make that harder like hiding his actions within a mass of people.

'...The Master Unit has deemed that we should accept the Error's offer. It may be a risk but now that he is aware of us observing him, we cannot let him do anything that may escape our gaze. But she has deemed that you should have the final say in how we shall proceed Amy.' Es answered as Amy nodded her head, listening in to Es's suggestion as Sora waited for Amy to give her answer to him. He couldn't help but sweat a bit as he waited with bated breath for the answer that will change everything for him.

As the both Sora and Amy knew that the answer given would have very important implications as to how things would go from here on out.

GREETINGS LOST SHEEP OF FANFICTION!? HOW IS EVERYONE DOING ON THIS FINE DAY!? I hope you all are actually doing fine and not actually suffering as we speak. As we approach the halfway point of 2022, I have to say, other than a few unpleasant experiences, 2022 seems to be looking like we are approaching a recovery point ever since this pandemic. I hope we can continue going down this track and we can start to have a much more normal life compared to the life we have been living thanks to the pandemic.

SO WHAT WILL HAPPEN NEXT!? WILL AMY ACCEPT SORA'S DEAL!? NOW THAT SORA KNOWS OF A WAY HE CAN RETURN BACK TO HIS TIMELINE, WHY DOES HE NOT JUST RUSH BACK!? WHAT DOES HE HOPE TO ACHIEVE!? AND HOW WILL THIS ARRANGEMENT GO FOR BOTH PARTIES INVOLVED!? Well the only way to know more about what is to come is to stay tuned and wait for the next distortion to hopefully form near you.
