11 x Toki

With a streak of blue light paired with a strange brass noise, a bronze colored machine appeared in the courtyard

In the night ignited by the light from a computer screen, a frightened 11 came back to his sense, and carefully lifted up his curtain and looked outside.
The machine was covered with strange, complicated meters, but the big seat in the middle already doesn’t have anyone sitting in it.
A knocking sound came from the door.  “11!” an unfamiliar voice shouted her name.
Opening the door, the “person” in front of her eyes wore a deep grey cape. Upon seeing it, it deeply bowed.

“I’m very sorry… but I need your help!” It said, out of breath.
“I’m called Tokiko… I’m a person from the year 21XX. I took it upon myself to take the key and use the time machine to bring myself here.”
“Right now, I’ve fallen into a time paradox, and someone just said that you have a way to save me.”
Tokiko spread out his three-fingered hand, displaying a crinkled note. Also seeming like he suddenly remembered something, he glanced at his watch.

“Time… Time stopped again!” Tokiko frantically lifted his head.
Looking at the watch on Tokyo’s hand, it went forward a tick, then back a tick, forward a tick, back a tick…
Not just Tokiko’s watch, but even including the clock hanging on the wall, are also going forward a tick, back a tick.
“This… is a sign that our timeline will be destroyed” Tokiko helplessly told 11

Pulling back the curtains, the world outside, near and far, is all dissolving into blue powder and vanishing into the darkness.
11 was unusually quiet as she unfolded the note. Her handwriting was clearly written on the note:
“You need to let the new time reasonably start, and the old time must reasonably repeat again.”
“The time machine is just outside. Quick, follow me, escape this timeline first, then we’ll talk!” Tokiko grabbed 11 and started running.

The music equipment behind her, the sound-controlled corridor lights above her head, the skyscrapers in the distance, all were dissolved by the blue.
The cat on the wall, the people on the streets, the car driving into the darkness, all dissolved into powder and returned to nothingness.
The time machine was already within eyesight, the brass lustre unusually dazzling, as if the darkness was “shrinking” around that point.
This time machine’s seats weren’t in the place where she saw them before after all! But there already isn’t enough time to think. Quickly pressing the start button—

Transport complete. 11 and Tokiko recovers from their dizziness…
“I’m so sorry… also getting you also involved in this…” Tokiko apologetically said, tears flowing freely.
The familiar courtyard, the familiar light of the computer behind the curtains. 11 suddenly realized the time she was in.—
“Don’t be discouraged, we’ve just started now! Let’s quickly go to the the location we were at before we travelled!”

In an empty alleyway, someone wearing a deep grey cape climbed down from a bright white machine.
11 pulled up her sweater until it only revealed her eyes, and walked towards this person that was looking around.
“Over there lives a person called 11. She can help you walk out of the time paradox”
“Give her this slip of paper, and she’ll know how to do it” 11 stuck the wrinkled slip of paper into the three-fingered hand.

A corner of the curtain slowly lifted, before being put back. 11 and Tokiko immediately came out from among the trees.
One, two, go! The bronze colored machine was lifted by the two, all the back to the back alley.
“Tokiko, can you set the destination to where the courtyard is?” “I can, and the time will be to the time we were at before!”
Tokiko hastily entered the code, and 11 hid the bright white machine behind a wall.
A sound-controlled light turned on in the building. 11 and Tokiko, who had just adjusted the transport destination, hurriedly hid.
Old 11 and Tokiko frantically ran out of the building, dodging an invisible chaser.
New 11 and Tokiko hid in the darkness without making a sound, watching them press the time machine’s start button.
