The entity is Kali (appearing as a 12-year-old girl in a glowing hoodie), a time-shard born from a broken prayer. She doesn’t kill—she rewinds victims into their worst memory, trapping them forever. Kamsin tracks her to an abandoned Sogo Hotel, where she reveals she knows his secret: during the massacre, he didn’t just kill enemies—he hesitated, and because of that hesitation, a child died. Kali offers to delete that hesitation from time. No child dies. No guilt.
