Summary
It’s been 32 years since the war between the Machine and Samaritan ended.
The world moved on, but Shaw never really did.
Only the Machine remains, speaking in Root’s voice.
It was a comfort at first—sort of.
But as the years dragged on, and Shaw uncovered the truth—
that Root plotted her own death to ensure they’d win the war—it stopped being a comfort.
Bear is gone. Then Fusco. Then Finch—age claimed them one by one.
Now there’s no one left.
No mission. No purpose.
Just the hollow rhythm of a reality she no longer trusts.
Then, on her birthday, alone in a world built on memory and ghosts,
Shaw decided, enough is enough.
This simulation really sucks and it’s time to hit restart. -

"Tell me the truth, Potter!" Umbridge screeched, "Tell me where Albus Dumbledore is!"
Harry’s head lolled forward as the curse lifted for a moment, his chest heaving as he struggled to breathe.
"Go… to… hell," he rasped, defiance burning in his emerald gaze.
Her face twisted in rage, and she raised her wand again.
"CRUCIO! "
The curse slammed into him again.

Summary
Harry Potter was the unluckiest man in the whole fucking world.
Harry rolls his eyes, okay, let’s start from the top.
Harry James Potter was 17 years old when he died by the killing curse from Voldemort in the Forbidden Forest, he never really woke up that day.
OR, Harry Potter is stuck in an infinite time loop thanks to Death and Fate, where whenever he dies he wakes up randomly in some point of his life. This is partly Harry’s fault because he is unwilling to interact with his oh so precious soulmate and tries to kill him every time the time loop repeats.
Then Harry (reluctantly) agreed to at least give it a try with his soulmate.
