The moment he noticed Skyler reaching toward the artifact, Max suddenly began shouting. His words were frantic and filled with desperation, leaving Skyler unable to understand what he was talking about.
"You... You're still alive?!"
"Good... good!"
"Did you come here to restart time?"
"We can't fail the trial! Everyone else is dead! I... I was the only one who made it here..."
His voice trembled as confusion and fear clouded his eyes as he lowered his head.
"But... I don't understand. Everything feels unfamiliar. Everything has changed! The Eldoria I knew is gone... But how? Why?"
Skyler frowned and tilted his head back, his outstretched hand already reaching toward the Wheel of Time and activating its power.
"What?"
Max's voice grew even louder, filled with panic and disbelief as he stared at him.
"You don't remember?! Austin, Jenny, Monica, and the others didn't either! I... I don't understand what is happening!"
His breathing became uneven.
