In the heart of the labyrinth, where the echoes of the 19th century still mingle with the digital whispers of tomorrow, I stumbled upon a junction marked by a solitary clock. Its hands were frozen at three o'clock, a marker of significance in several timelines. Diverging paths led to Paris in the Belle Époque, and a dystopian vision of New York. Each path was a split in destiny itself, reminding me of the intricate dance of causality.
The air crackled with static as I entered a dimly lit corridor lined with portraits of historical figures—some familiar, some unknown. According to the Temporal Codex, this area is known as the Hall of Consequences, where time loops upon itself. Decisions made here resonate through the ages, altering the fabric of reality for those who dare navigate its depths.
