!cw/tw: spoilers (kinda) for mag 101 (it’s mostly my hc tho), eyestrain, body horror!

No. That’s impossible, he’s been following the map intently and he couldn’t have been here before… Right?

Sooo about the hc in question.
Time doesn’t work there the way it should. Nothing does. Especially the deeper you go into the corridors. Sometimes it overlaps with itself and… creates an Unforgettable Experience™ for whoever wanders in there. What does it do exactly? Allows them to see themselves in the not-too-distant future. Literally. But the chance of that happening is almost non-existent. Sometimes there’s not enough time for it to even occur. (Unfortunately. I’m sure the Distortion would enjoy watching their reactions.)
As for these two, their encounter was rather brief. Just long enough to slowly drive Michael crazy. In addition to everything else, of course.
Just imagine what it was like for him. The moment he turned around and met it’s cold gaze. The questions that flooded his mind as he stood there, unable to run nor look away.
