The moment she heard those words, Megan felt everything go dark. She nearly collapsed. What? Five students were inside? That meant Aurora had to be one of them. At that thought, Megan could barely stay on her feet. She clutched the sleeve of one of the officers tightly. “Please, officer… I’m begging you. Please bring my friend back safely, okay? She’s the only true friend I have. I can’t lose her.”
Seeing how worn out and anxious Megan looked, Aurora, who was hovering above the scene, felt her heart soften completely. How did she deserve such a good best friend? She must have saved the galaxy in her past life.
The officer looked at Megan’s tear-filled eyes. He had wanted to speak honestly, but seeing her in such despair, saying the truth now would only break her further. Still, he didn’t want to lie to the public either. So, he could only give a vague reply. “Don’t worry, young lady. We’ll do everything we can to rescue your friend.” Hearing that, Megan understood the real answer. She couldn’t hold on any longer. Her vision went black again, and she collapsed into the arms of the officer beside her. Everyone around started to panic. The situation had already been chaotic; now with Megan fainting, it only made things worse. The staff on site scrambled to manage the scene. Aurora watched it all unfold and felt helpless herself. Not only had Megan fainted, but even her own body trapped below was beyond her reach.
And now, Aurora couldn’t stop thinking about the same question. If she had been sent here only to be a bystander, unable to do anything—was it because they were afraid that if she interfered, the future would change? Aurora pressed her lips together, forcing herself to cast aside those dangerous thoughts. The past was not something anyone could interfere with. If she really altered something, the consequences for the future would be unpredictable. Every event followed its own path.

If she intervened recklessly, she would inevitably disrupt the cause and effect. No matter what, she had to remember why she was here. She absolutely couldn’t tamper with the balance of things.
Watching as Megan was finally taken away in the ambulance, Aurora finally felt a bit of relief. Still, the natural disaster in Ravenshore puzzled her even now. Why was it only the auditorium that collapsed? Nothing else had been affected at all. It wasn’t like she hadn’t thought about this when she was younger, but she wasn’t someone who studied meteorology. She had never been able to make sense of it, especially back then—she was one of the victims. She didn’t even have the capacity to think beyond surviving. But now, seeing it all as an observer, the sudden rain and the collapse felt increasingly suspicious. Even now, she had no leads. She couldn’t take action and speak out. Everything she could do was limited. But once she woke up—she would dig into this. She had to get to the bottom of it.
The police and reporters were just as puzzled by what had happened. Even the experts who arrived at the scene were visibly shaken.
“You’re telling me there was a torrential downpour here just moments ago?”
“Yes, Professor. We have no reason to lie to you,” the principal said helplessly. Clearly, he was just as confused. He was just a regular school administrator—he didn’t want his career to end like this.
