The accumulation of Thoughts, [Intentions] from the Itvasme-Enjoyers, the accumulation of their tears, fears, hopes, beliefs, and Powerstones 🤭✨, Author's (shamelessly staged) 'relenting response', Itvasme's reflexive reaching for refuge…
Whilst [Reality] seemed indifferent, the [Collective Consciousness], the thoughts hopes, and dreams of all persons past present (and future?!) combined, suddenly altering the [Field]…!!!
[Field]. This was the Fabric, the interconnected matrix underlying Reality, if you will, that interconnects everything in the Universe.
In that instant… The [Field]… the Fabric underlying Reality and Future Possibility… *alters*. Almost Imperceptibly. (In fact, it is by a fraction-th of a fraction-th..!!!!!) And yet. It is enough to nudge the Story into a new, unknown trajectory…!!!
"I-I'm sorry..." Sally knew that what she was choosing to do would likely have massive aftershocks for the future. Perhaps another in her position may have just looked on, or even taken advantage of the situation to 'prioritize the greater good' as the pillar fell, and convinced themselves that it was better this way... and perhaps, these courses of action would have been perceived as reasonable, or even justified and necessary depending on certain points of view.
Nevertheless. This, was what Sally chose…
As Itvasme dives desperately, as the scene slows down frame-by-frame… it becomes clear, that her avoiding the pillar entirely is very much in doubt…!
-And This! is when Sally's "Absolute Zero" unleashes-! *flash-freezing* the entire Convenience Store HQ!!!!!!!!!!
Time stands still, as debris and flecks of dust and rubble are rendered instantly motionless in the air, twinkling like stars in a forgotten galaxy.
Most importantly, the gigantic, heavy pillar that was falling, has been *snap-frozen*!, suspended in the air, mid-descent?!?!?!
Absolute… Silence. Or rather. It is the complete… Absence… of Sound, of thermal signal, of molecular movement, of even baseline energetic vibration.
Absolute Zero has locked the entire Central Convenience Store - EVP Blueprint HQ in limbo, transforming it into a timeless tableau, a surreal scene that is sealed and saved, impressed and immortalized in imagination, mind and memory.
Indeed. Rather than Annihilation, Sally has made her Choice - one that she knows will have reverberating consequences for the Future… And even so. Sally has no regrets. For she knows that, deep down, this decision is a true extension of the renewed Hope and Belief that she now feels - quite possibly thanks to a certain 'That Guy's' arrival... !!? ✨🤭
That's right! Absolute Zero, rather than focusing on finishing the Grand Dark Rizzard Itvasme, has instead been focused on the Supports and Structure of the Space - on Preservation, the Prevention of Harm, and the Protection of a Human Life…!!?!!!!?!
It is an incredible Casting, one of complete Coldness, and at the same time, consummate Control, borne of a supreme, crystalline Concentration, and Sally herself knows that the outcome was not guaranteed… But it appears that She has done it!!!!
For better, or worse…
Sally… has Chosen to Save.
