Elizabeth looked at him for a moment before shaking her head.
"The loops ended a long time ago. You should know that too," she said.
Neo fell silent.
She was right.
The loops had started shortly after the end of the First Divine War. Or perhaps near its end. Time was always blurry around that period.
The Cosmos had been reset again and again. Hundreds of years, repeating. Then, one day, it had simply stopped.
No warning.
No explanation.
Why had it ended?
What had happened back then?
Neo wanted to know. At the same time, he didn't.
Right now, his life was… peaceful. As peaceful as it could be, considering everything.
If possible, he didn't want to dig up truths that would only leave him with regret or sorrow.
"Okay," Elizabeth said eventually. "You should go now. The nearby cities and markets are far. If you want to come back by evening, you'll need to leave soon."
Neo nodded.
He slipped the wooden token into his clothes and stepped outside the residence.
