He worshipped a legend for 17 years. Then he met him — bleeding, terrified, and just as breakable as anyone else. In our new episode, we go head-to-head on the most dangerous swing in Book 1: the Congo War time-travel arc. One host says it's the emotional heart of the story — the moment an untouchable legend becomes human. The other says it's a structural cheat, because once the past is provably reachable, loss stops feeling permanent and every death afterward loses its bite. We also dig into how Zeryl's ability actually works (a localized vacuum in the Void, not a rewind button), why the universe physically fights back against anyone who tries it, and the warning that started it all.
