The life of a returner
The idea of an identical double of oneself is part of ancient German legends, a myth that has survived in various forms to this day. It is a subject full of mystery, a concept that inspires shocking stories, such as seeing one's own double and suffering a misfortune or a curse. Although, in strictly rational terms, these stories are nothing more than unscientific myths.
Ethan's sister thought so too, until she was faced with what was in front of her.
A doppelganger...
Meeting one should be something unreal, something disposable; but what if someone's double was right next to you?
The essence of a person cannot be defined in a single word. It is made up of their experiences, the places they have visited, their environment...
Could there really be someone in the world capable of replicating all that? At first, the idea seems absurd.
It is irrational. If someone familiar appeared, one would instantly notice any difference. And if you don't notice... are you just naive?
Thinking logically, that's reasonable.
Therefore, Ethan's sister couldn't understand what she had just heard.
"You mean to tell me that you are my brother Ethan, the real one who disappeared in 2028, and that he is just your double?"
In front of Ethan's sister stood two men identical in appearance and complexion.
The year 2028...
That was the year of "The Final Judgement" on Earth, when portals opened and released monstrous creatures, and there were those who "Awoke" with special powers.
The coincidence was impeccable. October 26, 2028.
That day was not only the final judgement; it was also the birthday of both men in front of her.
One claimed to have been transported to a strange world called "Terra Abismo" and that he had just returned that day; the other insisted that it was absurd, that he had never left.
Today is October 31, 2038. A day when children should be playing and laughing, and instead, this.
Evidently, one of them is lying.
Ethan's sister exhaled, frustrated.
"This is crazy."
It sounds like something out of a novel.
A novel in which doubles exist.
