He’d arrived on Tàwèi II—a planet that felt familiar, yet subtly wrong, as if it were Terra’s reflection seen through warped glass. Here, the one who gave him a sense of déjà vu was the Re-Traveler; the ones who truly felt familiar were the Long-Lived. One day in the cafeteria, Bai Ling caught himself staring at Eldera, turning a single question over and over in his mind: If the people from Terra’s era could meet the Endfield present head-on… what would happen?
