It's not about how much spiritual power you've got—only the truly awakened, those rare saints with total clarity, can handle the wild ride of time without getting lost. If you haven't reached that level of inner self-awareness, every time the memories rewind, you'll lose your grip: forget your feelings, forget what's real, blur the line between memory and reality, and end up not even knowing who you are. Susan Morrow has always been fiercely righteous—she just keeps charging forward, no breaks, no looking back. But even with two saints backing her up, that kind of headstrong courage is risky business.
Still, that kind of stubbornness isn’t for nothing. When Jill Young walked a full circle and landed back where she started—thud—her foot hit the ground, sending a shockwave out, and just as the sound rippled through the air, the whole memory world stretched out, slowing almost to a freeze. And right then, the memories themselves started to morph.
Memories aren’t supposed to change—unless something new sneaks in.
The memory world was stretching wider and wider.
In that little mountain village, Jill Young could only see what Susan Morrow had seen, only walk the paths Susan had walked. If the star of the memory played at the village gate, then even if Jill wandered to the far end, all she’d get was a creepy, black-and-white haze, like staring at an old photo through a fog of recollection. Honestly, those shadowy patches were pretty unnerving. Didn’t matter how many times she tried, it was always the same result.
But now? Everything’s changed.
When the twin sisters split up, those usually haunted, fogged-out zones started to clear. Jill Young followed Susan Soo’s trail and caught sight of some truly weird stuff.
Blurry as ever, like peeking at flowers through mist, but Jill’s eyes popped wide—she almost shouted: “This is it! We’ve got a shot this time, for real!”
Time kept rolling, and the world through Susan Soo’s eyes sharpened up, bit by bit. Looked like Mom was finally nailing the trick. At last, April 1976—yep, still that April, still that day.
