With the blueprint with us, Chronos took me with him as we were heading to the museum. What would I possibly do to save myself now?, Nothing, just like Chronos said, I have got no chance of survival and I shouldn't think about one or else I am going to face nothing other than depression. Did Chronos lie to me?, no. He has been telling me nothing but the truth, but according to the question I asked, we might possibly no longer be fond of each other like before, he also did gave me a hint about that, saying he would be my best friend and as well my worst enemy, all that truth have been facing me all this while, but I was just too blind to notice it. It's either I was listening or I wasn't ready to learn, but with the reality I'm about to face now, I guess I just can't learn if not from the hard way, he's showing no emotions or remorse about the situation I'm about to fall in, but apart from that, he's doing to me exactly the same thing I had done to him but in my own way which even resulted to me loosing my life and soul to the time keeper. We got to the museum, but the environment was unlike last time, last time the museum was filled with policemen at every angle, but this time, it's just as normal as it's used to, few people who has come to take a tour and as well visit hanging around, the environment looking quite scantly like I used to know, how come?. So that means that the gang definitely has a hand in getting the police here, the gang leader in particular. Last time, I had successfully gotten the blueprint here just like Chronos has done now, but that last time, the gang wasn't left in chaos, they were stable and balanced, the gang leader well and alive, but now, it's all different, they're all in disarray, the gang leader dead by my hands and the members beaten up by Chronos. “ I wasn't expecting here to be all guardless, was expecting it to be like last time, all clustered by and filled with policemen....” I spoke out my observation which only Chronos can possibly hear, he didn't reply, just continued walking towards the museum entrance like one who has nothing to fear. Seeing the level of his confidence, I don't know whether he's being arrogant or fearless, but compared to me, I am just reckless. We saw the museum manager running out of the museum, he was buckling up as he walks, heading towards his car, face not looking bright like he was being bothered by something. I do care about him, he cares about me and has always being the one encouraging me in everything I do, every service I render to the museum. “ Common Chronos, that's the museum manager, we should go meet him, we can trust him.....” He stopped for a moment, as if he was considering my request before turning towards the Manager's direction. Seeing the Manager going into his car makes me want to hurry, but am I Chronos?, No more, he walks with elegance, showing that all this doesn't matter to him, even if we happened to fail tonight, at least he did as he said, he will try to help my obsession, that doesn't mean that my obsession is also his. Seeing the Manager about to drive away, I pleaded with Chronos to call him, he's the one who knows about the locks and setting to the blueprint, just as other passwords, the door to the blueprint area is different and only him has access to it. I know that I am going to be dead and gone by nightfall, but he should at least make this sacrifice of mine a success, I shouldn't go into eternal prison in vain, achieving my aim would make my miseries worth it. He was almost driving out of sight and we wasn't any close. “ Please Chronos..... I need your help, don't let my sacrifice be a waste, I know that you're still hurting and angry at me because my promises were a lie, but please, can you help me make this a success, you promised..... Though I failed mine, but you're not me, please don't be like me, please!.....” He's in my body, logically, he's me. I know that's possibly what's in his mind, Chronos can say that, but he didn't because he might possibly know this is a critical situation for me, maybe he still cares a bit, maybe. We watched him drive away and Chronos wasn't even making an attempt. The moment he drove away, I became silent, he's a god and punishment is part of his responsibilities, maybe he let me stay, not because he wanted to offer me help, rather because he wanted to make sure I see out my punishment before going, guess I just deserve it. He wasn't here as a friend, rather he was here to pass judgement to me, to throw my errors to my face, I hate myself for me, for what I did, I really regret my actions. The time slowed down, everything that was in motion going slower and slower, is he doing what I am thinking?, Is he about helping me out?. He was just walking to the car, he's not the type that run towards anything, just being majestic in his actions. “ I have one last request Chronos..... I know that I am asking for a lot, but could you please replace me for my mother, I know I wasn't a good son to her and I also wasn't a good friend to you, but could you please do me this last favor, as a departing friend?....” He didn't say a word, just walking towards the slow moving car, I don't know what to say again, but somehow, I have this believe that he will take my place for me, he was logical, but as well a good friend.
