...Present day...
A large body crashed into me, causing me to fall into the dirt. I coughed painfully as my arms trembled to pick myself back up. The man shouted, "Filthy scum! Get out of my way!"
My pupils stopped trembling as the memories began to recede. I forced myself to my feet and looked around in confusion. It was definitely the same world. I recognize the town, but it is also a bit different.
As I walked through the street still in a daze, I was distracted by the new buildings as well as the variety of people conversing together.
This is much different from the past.
The Scholars nation has always been widely accepting of people from every nation, but I never saw this much diversity before. Not to mention they are all speaking to people from other nations without the slightest bit of prejudice. They were always pushing for inclusivity, but it didn't mean it ever succeeded.
So why does everything look the same yet feel different?
How did it change this much?
