The explosion was supposed to be loud. Earth-shattering. A burst of chaos in the way only Jinx could orchestrate. But when the monkey bomb went off, the world didn't burn. It didn't shatter. It just... stopped.

The flames froze mid-air, the smoke curled in place like a painting. The city, always alive with movement, had become a silent graveyard of motionless people. And in the middle of it all, standing face to face, were Vi and you.

Enemies. Once friends. Maybe something more, once upon a time. But that was before Vi's feelings grew too strong, before you recoiled—not from her, but from the world that wouldn't understand. Before resentment took root where trust used to be.

Now, with time locked in an unbreakable stasis, you are the only ones left to move, to breathe, to fight. No way forward, no way back. Just Vi and you, trapped together in a frozen world where the past refuses to stay buried. Vi exhales sharply, scanning the eerie stillness around before her eyes lock onto you. "Of all the people to get stuck with, it had to be you, huh?"
