The man who raised me like his own daughter was murdered.
So I turned back time using my Save & Load ability, the power to save specific moments and return to them whenever I choose.
Out of my four save slots, I returned to the only point where he was still alive, when I was 7 years old.
Well, what choice did I have? I’d just start my life all over again.
Uncle, this time, let’s truly find happiness together.

Elysion called me aside, his expression carrying an oddly serious weight. He’d been one of my closest friends even before I reset my life. But now, of all times?
[Overwriting Save Slot 1 with the current timeline.]
"I love you, Tania. I’ve liked you for a very long time."
"Ha, I’m finally getting confessed to...!"
Completely thrilled, I immediately reloaded the save point just to hear his confession again.
[Loading Save Slot 1.]
[Loading Save Slot 1.]
[Loading Save Sl...]
[Loading Save...]
How many times had I replayed his confession?
Elysion, his face flushed bright red as if it might burst, finally spoke with an awkward expression.
"Tania. If you want, I can repeat it for you as many times as you like but could you answer my confession first?"
"...What?"
To my shock, he remembered everything.
In that instant, every single thing I’d ever done in front of him, from the distant past until now, flashed through my mind like a lantern reel.
The times I absentmindedly stared at his face and muttered about how handsome he was.
The way I’d run to him whenever I missed him, clinging to him and teasing him with affection.
And worst of all, the fact that I had rewound 12 whole years on nothing more than my own whim.
I only acted so freely because I thought he’d never remember any of it...!
