[INT. DIMENSIONAL CROSSPOINT – BETWEEN REALMS]
The corrupted skies thundered.
The black hand of the Dark God stretched deeper into the Realm of Time —
Each skeletal finger dripping cursed energy, warping time and space around it.
Haruto and Airi hovered before it, divine light clashing against the abyssal descent.
> Haruto (panting, straining against the pressure):
"He's too strong… even with the watch…"
> Airi (gritting her teeth, hand trembling):
"Our light isn't enough…
Because we still don't remember everything."
The watch on Haruto's wrist pulsed violently — warning, desperate.
The ring on Airi's hand flickered — unstable, unstable, unstable.
Suddenly —
A deafening tremor tore across the heavens.
BOOM—!!
From the skies above, five great streaks of color blazed downward —
One blue.
One gold.
One green.
One crimson.
One shimmering white.
Comets of divinity.
They descended — took form — and landed between Haruto, Airi, and the creeping hand of the Dark God.
The God and Goddess of Space.
The God and Goddess of the Nonliving.
The God and Goddess of the Five Elements.
And the Male and Female halves of the Living Deity.
Each radiated cosmic might — their forms shattering the cursed mist on impact.
> God of Space (booming, voice like collapsing stars):
"You are not alone, Fragments of Light."
> God of the Elements (roaring like wildfire):
"We'll hold him off."
> God of the Nonliving (echoing through the bones of reality):
"But you must remember who you are.
Completely.
Only then will you be whole."
The sky blazed with godly aura.
Each deity raised their power — weaving colossal barriers of light around Haruto and Airi —
Shielding them against the overwhelming curse.
Across the void, the Dark God laughed —
A hollow, thunderous sound that cracked the heavens.
> Dark God (mocking, venomous):
"You bring half-souled gods to fight me?
I have already begun feeding on your realms.
Your power wanes with every passing second."

[FLASH CUT — ALL REALMS]
— The Domain of Space: Stars flickered… then collapsed into silence.
— The Realm of Elements: Storms died, rivers stilled, volcanoes fell cold.
— The Nonliving Realm: Matter itself began to decay, corroding from the inside out.
— Even the Living Realm: Leaves withered, oceans dulled, breathless.

> God of Space (voice strained, cracking):
"He's leeching from us…
Corrupting our divine cores…"
Haruto's fists trembled.
> Haruto (horrified):
"You're fighting with less power…
Just to protect us?"
The Male half of the Living God smiled, blood trailing from his mouth.
> God of Living (Male):
"We buy you time.
That's what gods do…
For our children."
Airi's voice quivered — realization dawning.
> Airi (tearful, voice breaking):
"We're not just humans…
Are we?"
The God of the Nonliving answered, calm as death itself.
> God of Nonliving:
"No.
You are the origin of all humans."
The Female Living God stepped forward, her glow fierce and sorrowful.
> God of Living (Female):
"You gave your lives to create the mortal world.
You are not just Light…
You are the Founders."

Suddenly —
Haruto clutched his head —
The watch burned against his skin, glowing violently.
Airi screamed —
Falling to her knees midair as the ring on her hand melted, searing into her soul —
Fusing.
> Haruto (whispering, gasping):
"Airi… I… I think I'm seeing something…"
---
[FLASH — PURE WHITE LIGHT]
MEMORY VISION BEGINS
Two divine figures — radiant beyond words —
The Male and Female Light Gods —
Stood before a newborn galaxy, hand in hand.
Tears shimmered in their eternal eyes.
> Female Light God (past Airi, voice breaking):
"If this is the price of love… of life…
Then I'll give it all."
> Male Light God (past Haruto, determined):
"We'll be reborn, again and again…
Until the world is safe.
Until we remember."
---
[MEMORY ENDS]
---
Haruto collapsed to one knee, chest heaving.
> Haruto (softly, voice cracking):
"I…
I remember her tears…
Before we fell to Earth…"
Airi floated slowly upward —
Eyes glowing faintly gold.
> Airi (whispering, fierce):
"It's starting.
The memories are coming back."
Above them, the gods strained harder against the Dark Hand —
The cursed force pressing, clawing, roaring to break through.
> Dark God (thunderous, monstrous):
"You may stall me with your divine corps…
But the moment they fail to remember in time —
You all fall."
> God of Space (shouting to the others):
"Then we must give them more time!"
Each god surged forward —
Their powers colliding against the Dark Hand —
A brilliant shockwave ripping through the dimensions.
The Time God's voice cut through the chaos —
Soft, steady, the anchor in the storm.
> Time God (to Haruto and Airi):
"Close your eyes.
Feel the bond that created existence itself.
The moment you remember everything —
You won't need the watch.
You are the light."
Haruto and Airi floated closer —
Foreheads almost touching.
Their souls shivered — resonance awakening —
Something ancient, something absolute.
> Haruto (breathing deeply, voice shaking):
"No matter how many lifetimes it takes…"
> Airi (whispering, tears falling into light):
"I'll always find my way back to you."

[FADE OUT]
Divine music echoed —
Soft and ancient —
As the memory process began to accelerate.
