Candy Chaos: Age Reversal Disaster

Kusuri

These candies will revolutionize aging research! Orange makes you younger, blue makes you older!

Mikoto

That's impossible. Time manipulation violates every law of physics.

Kazuma

(If I eat the orange one, I could become a kid again and never have to pay taxes...)

Mikoto

Don't even think about it. Untested substances could kill you!

Kazuma

(Too late!)

Kazuma

Wait, I grabbed the wrong one! This is the blue candy!

Kusuri

Oh no... at this rate he'll age into dust within minutes!

Mikoto

There's only one way to stop this - a precisely controlled electric shock might neutralize the aging effect!

Mikoto

My Railgun... it didn't fire. The electricity just... stopped.

Kazuma

(Can't move... can't breathe... what's happening to my body?)

Kusuri

The stasis field isn't stopping the aging - it's accelerating it! Look at his cells!

Mikoto

(The electric field created a temporal bubble... but the candy's enzymes are still active inside, multiplying exponentially...)

Kusuri

At this rate, the temporal distortion will cause his cells to experience centuries of aging in seconds!

Mikoto

Then I'll reverse the polarity. Instead of freezing time, I'll accelerate it past the candy's effect!

Kusuri

Wait... what if the orange candy isn't the antidote? What if it's the catalyst that completes the transformation?

Mikoto

(The orange candy... it's not reversing aging. It's amplifying it. And I'm about to feed it to him.)

Mikoto

No! The candy—it's already dissolving!

Kazuma

(Every cell is burning! Make it stop!)

Kusuri

The temporal field! It's expanding beyond the stasis zone!

Mikoto

(My... my skin! The time storm—it's affecting me too!)

Kusuri

The antidote! If I can synthesize a temporal anchor—

Mikoto

I'll overload the field! If I match the candy's frequency—

Kusuri

The control sample... it's empty! The orange candy—there's only one left!

Mikoto

(If I eat this, I might stabilize the field... or accelerate my own aging to death. But if I don't, Kazuma's timeline will tear itself apart.)

Mikoto

(This candy... it's not just about aging. It's showing me who I used to be.)

Kazuma

(I see everything... every version of myself from birth to death...)

Mikoto

If I'm going to die, I'll die as who I was meant to be.

Kusuri

The candy... it's not reversing the aging effect. It's amplifying her esper abilities!

Mikoto

(I remember now... this is the day I chose to be the Railgun. The day I chose power over normalcy.)

Kazuma

Wait... I'm... I'm my normal age again?

Kusuri

The temporal field didn't reverse—it transferred! Mikoto's cellular age is still cycling!

Mikoto

(Every version of me... they'll all remember this moment. The day I chose to save someone else, even knowing what it would cost.)

Kusuri

Her biological clock... it's accelerating beyond human limits. In minutes, she'll experience a lifetime of aging!
