On the Thirteenth of March, 2016, a Tragedy is set to occur. The Trickster, who in the next year will defy fate like it’s their day job, is nowhere to be found for now - still dealing with the fallout of their supposed crime.

But what if someone else was there to prevent it?

You don’t necessarily need a graceful rescue to save a life. Perhaps all that’s necessary is for someone to space out in the right place at the right time.

The Butterfly Effect can take over from there.

Kasumi pouted “I’ve never set fire to anything-”\\
“You ''melted'' a pan.” The others stared at Kasumi in shock as she tried to deny it… only for Ren to pull out a picture Sumire sent him. It was impressive how deformed the kitchen utensil was.
