He dies. He resets. And every time he comes back, he comes back alone, the only person who remembers what it cost. Then an angel falls out of the sky into his shrine, hunted by Heaven's enforcers, bleeding into the gravel. She burns wrong. Black and gold where she should be white.

Can't map them. Can't predict what grows in the space between two people the universe forgot to write. So it sends everything it has.
