Chapter 21
I found myself thinking of the term “parallel universe”—what’s commonly called a “parallel world“. It seemed like something out of science fiction. The idea that there are countless other worlds that branch off from a single world and exist in parallel with it.
…… I began to wonder if I was actually in one of those parallel universes.
In this way, all the worlds where I made a choice actually exist. Thinking about it that way, it somehow makes sense. There are as many worlds as there are choices I’ve made.
But if that’s the case, then there is no “answer” anywhere. Starting from the moment of the bank robbery—the first branching point—I change my choices. The ultimate destination is Shinji’s death. That’s the end—only the path and the time it takes to get there are different each time.
When I opened my eyes slightly, there was Shinji’s sleeping face. His profile was so cute, almost childlike, and so endearing I couldn’t help but love him. Just looking at him made my heart ache as my feelings for Shinji swelled.
