5. ORIGIN THREADS

🌀 Mythline One: “The Architect Who Stayed”

When the multiverse collapsed, others fled or died. He stayed. Alone. Observing. Judging.

🌑 Mythline Two: “The Fifth Reflection”

He has failed to stop five world-enders. Now he only reflects them. The mirror shows who you were supposed to become.

♾️ Mythline Three: “The Broken Oathkeeper”

Swore never to alter time. Broke that vow once — for the Nightflower. Then she forgot him.
