Narrator POV.
Now Kael disappearance wasn't an accident.
It was based on two factors he was fully aware of.
First: The Group.
The assassins collectively had no rules.
They didn't interfere with talent unless it becomes dangerous to the system.
Kael crossed that line when he began designing a weapon that didn't just kill targets.
But removed contacts.
A bullet that erased a target from existence.
The kill order of assassins.
The reason for the kill.
What is built around it.
Such weapon doesn't give an assassin strength.
It makes them useless.
So they had to make a move.
And they moved strategically.
Posing to want to buy the bullets off of him which he bluntly refused. So they made a move by trying to stop his work but had interference with 'The Uncaused Beings'.
Kael was no longer an asset to the group.
He was somthing different.
Second: The Consequence Of The Shot.
On an occasion Kael tested the bullets on a target.
.... But it wasn't complete.
Yet had done something - significant no one had expected.
It didn't just erase the target.
It left a void.
Due to the incomplete bullet, a fracture was made in the time space quantum, a place not to be tempered with. This makes casualty unable to anchor itself.
Reality doesn't tolerate gaps.
So they came.
Not gods.
Not machines.
Corrective Beings.
These entities whose sole purpose is to locate anomalies and close the space - no matter what exist inside it.
The moment Kael fired that test shot, he was marked.
When the group cane for him, what they didn't know was that Kael had already been claimed by something else.
Something older.
That doesn't just erase you.
It removes you from the equation.
Morrie never found his body.
Because there wasn't one.
Kael now exist in the space between before and after.
And that thing she saw dodge her shot wasn't him.
It was a correction process.
These beings don't tolerate interference with time, space and casualty.
You can move through time.
Can bend space.
You even observe probabilities.
But the moment you remove a cause while leaving its effect behind.
You break the equation.
Their purpose is simple.
Prevent Reality From Being Rewritten Without Consequence.
Not to punish.
To correct.
When the rupture appears, they trace it backwards - not just to the offender but to anyone close enough to become a future threat.
Friends.
Partners.
Witnesses.
Anyone who might try again.
That's why Morrie should have being erased.
But she wasn't
Because her relationship with Kael despite training together and surviving.
They were never fully attached.
They were close yet not.
Connected but not dependent.
Enough for casualty to hesitate.
Enough for her not to be marked by the beings and tagged low risk.
Kael on the other hand was fully responsible.
So they didn't kill him.
They removed him from casualty entirely - locked in the gap he created.
The group on the other hand changed their narrative.
They now need the bullet as they saw it as a chance to get ahead of the assassin market.
A weapon that leaves ni bodies.
No history.
No witness.
A perfect model.
If a target never existed, only the shooter would remember the contract.
They didn't want chaos.
They wanted efficiency.
And that is the irony of that.
And the more they try to perfect the bullet.
The more ruptures they create.
And the more attention they draw from the beings who doesn't care about power money or control.
Only balance.
However non of this is known to Morrie.
Not the beings.
Not the casualty.
Not the price paid by Kael.
All she knows is that.
Kael disappeared.
The group lied about it.
And the bullet is all Kael left behind.
So she did what she had been trained to do and whatshe thought necessary.
She planned.
Morrie didn't rebuild the bullet openly.
Instead she worked in fragments.
One equation memorized, then burned.
One component put together, then destroyed.
Nothing was kept in a place.
She never relied on the blueprint.
She became the blueprint.
The beings didn't notice her because there was nothing to be noticed.
No rupture.
No Discharge.
No violation of casualty.
Just potential.
Morrie wasn't trying to break reality.
She just wanted answers.
What she didn't know was that secrecy isn't protection.
It's a camouflage.
And camouflage only works untill you move.
