Part 8/9:
Eventually, Alice hatches a radical plan that involves returning to the moment of her birth, presenting the terrifying prospect of erasing her own existence in the timeline to salvage the future. This sacrifice leads to a dramatic confrontation with Gilbert, who is unwittingly drawn into a cascade of changes impacting reality. The transformation culminates in Gilbert waking up in an alternate world where the environmental disaster never occurs, and he is blessed with a loving family.
Simultaneously, in the dystopian future, the Fox awakens to discover that their nightmare has been averted, thanks to the ripple effect of Alice’s choice. She has managed to create a paradox, existing in this new reality even though she has erased her birth from history.
