At your will, time turns backs, a million strands of possibility unweaving and rejoining until an entirely new fabric is wrought...
The world has never known the terror of M. Bison and Shadaloo. They are not merely destroyed, their entire history is purged from existence. Your memories of them are the only trace left in the new world, and you never breathe a whisper of their existence to anyone. The burden of those dark memories will not weigh on anyone else's mind.
The Dolls will never be taken from their families,
never be corrupted and destroyed by mind control, never used for murder. Instead, these young minds grow under a gentle, guiding hand... and without Shadaloo to dedicate your life to fighting, you are reborn into a new role...
You smile, adjusting your glasses as you straighten a stack of papers in your hands. "And that concludes today's discussion on feline biology. Class is dismissed. The quiz on pollination will be next week, so study diligently this weekend!"
The students begin to pack their things as you take a seat beside the whiteboard. Before this peaceful world sprang into existence, the girls of your class would have been your age, some even older, but guiding their reincarnations demands an adjustment to your age, and theirs, an adjustment you made as easily as you might adjust a digital clock. You don't feel cheated by your new role as a pretty, young high school teacher, either. Without Shadaloo around, you were able to enjoy many years of peaceful, uninterrupted adolescence. Perhaps if you tire of this scenario you'll turn back to your teenage years once more...
The classroom is empty now, except for one girl. The shy, Korean exchange student looks at you over the edge of her binder, tapping her mary-janes against the floor.
"Um... Ms. White?"
"Is something wrong?"
She approaches your desk, looking at her shoes. She's a pale, slender girl who's never seen so much as a schoolyard slap-fight, seemingly never even raised her voice with the intention of hurting someone. "I... there were some things I didn't understand today. Can I ask you a couple of quick questions?"
You give the girl a pleasant and professional smile. "Of course. How can I help, Juri?"
