Several hours had passed, and Rael was still staring at the pop-up, uncertain of which option to pick.
Neither of them was good, but there was a very clear problem that might arise if he turned back time.
If the higher beings were alerted to what he was doing, they would likely pay more attention to him. Whether or not that attention was what he needed... he wasn't sure.
On the flip side, Melissa wouldn't be discovered.
Now if I don't turn back time and continue on... If Melissa dies and I turn back time after 48 hours, then I'll be in the same place again.
In the end, no matter what he picked, there were downsides, but he knew he had to pick something.
And that something, as much as he hated the feeling of being outplayed, had to be turning back time.
After all, while he used to be a piece of shit, he wasn't one now, so he couldn't take this chance and let his sister die.
