lives. The world may not have been perfect, but it was a place where
people could live in peace. The events in history had shaped my
world, and if I altered the world’s history, I might change its future
in unintended ways. I needed to think about the consequences of my

I learned a valuable lesson that day: that history should
not always be tampered with. I kept this message in my heart as I
continued to fix the past; and I looked forward to a brighter future,
for all of humanity.
