After musing for a moment, seemingly having organized her thoughts, she continued, "If I tell you the author has already finished the story, and only the author knows the protagonist's true ending, which is death, and the timeline has reached its end. Then, is the protagonist alive or dead?"
Leonard Churchill, guided by this question, started to understand a bit.
He expressed his opinion, "When the reader sees the middle of the story, the protagonist is alive; at the end, he is dead. But when you reread the book, he comes alive again. Opening the book is the start of time, and the last page is the end of time. But this isn't real-time; it's the time within the book..."
Upon hearing this, Witch Lanlingster nodded in acknowledgment, saying, "Correct. Time is relative. This is an important law in the universe."
Leonard Churchill asked, "Are you saying that the time in this space is just a perception illusion?"
His brows furrowed as he spoke.
