Seeing the dagger mark on the tree ahead of me, I immediately halted and stared, allowing both Ruby and Lily to catch up to me.
After looking at me with the same confused expressions, the two of them slowly followed my gaze, spotting the marked tree in the distance.
Staring at the tree with her mouth wide open, Lily managed to mutter out.
"P-please t-tell me you didn't just do that."
Regaining my composure, the spark of hope inside me ignited into a fire as I replied.
"Yesterday, I did it yesterday."
A loop's end condition is only identifiable by one factor: the loop does not affect how it acts, in this case, how it looks.
The tree in front of me was not affected by the loop, as despite everything around it being reset, it remained the exact same as yesterday.
But then the question is sparked.
Shouldn't I have already triggered the end condition and ended the loop then?
