Chapter 2 -2-Kill Bill
Link returned home with a heavy heart, his mind weighed down by what he had read.
As he walked into the house, he was greeted by the sight of a table full of delicious food.
His parents had clearly been waiting for him for some time. Even his little brother, Ryan, was already seated at the table, waving his knife and fork in excitement.
"Big brother, come eat with us!"
Link forced a smile and walked over to the table.
Though the meal had been specially prepared by his mother, he didn't have much of an appetite. His thoughts were completely preoccupied by that strange and mysterious notebook.
According to what was written inside, his future self had set certain conditions that had to be met in order to unlock the rest of its contents.
Link could understand that logic. Sometimes, knowing too much in advance could backfire. Some truths, if revealed too early, might interfere with one's judgment—or even spiral into disaster.
After mechanically shoveling a few bites of food into his mouth, Link excused himself with the pretense of needing to review for school and returned to his room.
The notebook had said that the next entry would unlock at exactly midnight.
He checked the clock. There were still three hours to go.
