The remaining six users had turned in for the night. Eden was on the Observation Platform above the quarantine zone - an area he usually would stay out of to avoid meeting himself (not because it would cause a paradox, he just figured he wouldn't enjoy his own company), but with the situation so close to reaching a conclusion he figured he'd need to be keeping an eye out for the result now. If a multi escaped from the quarantine zone, maybe he could take it down before he got back into the community.
He was about to go to sleep himself, when he saw two shadows emerge from the buildings below him. He squinted to try to make out who they were - they looked like y2kjbk and Thucydides...
Of course! Thucy was killed by the Mafia in the original game, but took y2k down with him. That must be what was about to happen here!
It was unfolding exactly as it had the first time, with Thucy being backed into a corner, but concealing his own banhammer until y2k got close enough. In a few moments, both of them would attack, and both of them would die.
Just at that moment, the time-bending device in Eden's hands started beeping, a warning message flashing on the screen:
"TEMPORAL INSTABILITY DETECTED. LIFE INDEX DIFFERENCE OVERLOAD. ATTEMPTING TO RESOLVE..."
Suddenly, Thucy froze. His banhammer dropped to the floor, and his entire body began to flicker, as if it were a simulation. This shocked the hell out of y2k, who watched on in terror as Thucy was slowly erased from existence.
"No... NO NO NO NO" Eden shouted, hitting the machine against the wall, but the effect was irreversible. A few moments later, only one figure was standing where there had previously been two - and y2k quickly regained his senses and ran from the scene. All that remained of Thucy was the lone banhammer, lying in the street.
COMMANDERBYRON has died! He was THUCYDIDES, the HUNTER!
Day 7 has begun, and will end in 48 hours.
