The countless windows hovered in the air.
Each one displayed a different universe.
A different history.
A different ending.
Nathan slowly walked toward the nearest window.
Inside, an ordinary family sat around a dinner table.
The father smiled politely.
The mother served food.
Their little daughter quietly thanked her.
Everything seemed perfect.
Until Nathan noticed something strange.
No one laughed.
No one spoke unless necessary.
No one made eye contact.
They moved like actors following a script.
The little girl accidentally dropped her spoon.
It clattered onto the floor.
She froze.
Immediately, a blue light appeared above the table.
Emotional Instability Detected.
Correction Required.
The little girl's smile vanished.
Her eyes became empty again.
She picked up the spoon without saying a word.
Nathan clenched his fists.
"This isn't peace."
The alternate hooded figure nodded calmly.
"No."
"It is stability."
He waved his hand.
