"Jack, I must kill you. Stop… stop it!"

Alice's voice was hoarse, torn from her throat as if dragged out by force. Rage and panic mixed together, blurring into something sharp and uncontrollable. Her hands struggled wildly, but her strength meant nothing in front of him.

"It doesn't matter," Jack said, his lips curling upward. His sneer was slow, deliberate, as though he were savoring every second. "When you can kill me, say it again. But now…" His eyes darkened. "I am enjoying this."

"Let me go! Let me go! You can't do this!" Alice shouted. Her voice echoed briefly before being swallowed by the oppressive silence around them.

"Can't do this?" Jack laughed softly, low and mocking. "Woman, you are playing with fire."

"Don't touch me! I must kill you—!"

Before she could finish, Jack slammed her back down onto the ground again. The impact knocked the air from her lungs. His hand pressed her firmly in place, his body forcing her into complete submission.

"Keep contact," Jack said calmly. "Losing distance would not be good."

"Stop…" Alice gasped. Her body suddenly went limp, her back pressed flat against the cold surface beneath her. Her eyes widened in shock as pain exploded through her nerves, sharp and merciless, as if her body were being torn apart from the inside.

Every breath burned.

Jack stared down at her, momentarily stunned, before his expression shifted. A twisted smile slowly spread across his face.

"Really…" he murmured, voice thick with amusement. "This brings me some unexpected accidents and surprises."

"I… I must kill you…" Alice whispered. Her lips trembled uncontrollably. Hatred surged through her chest, but her body refused to obey her will.

Suddenly, Jack froze.

His body stopped moving entirely, as if time itself had paused for him. Heat began to radiate from his skin in irregular waves. His pupils contracted violently, then split—three blade-like shapes forming within his eyes, sharp and unnatural.

Alice noticed it instantly.

Her own vision warped. The world seemed to tilt as her pupils shifted, reshaping into a triangular form. At the same time, a chilling cold swept through her body, spreading from her core outward. It was the complete opposite of the heat pouring off Jack.

"You… what did you do…" Alice said weakly. Her cheeks flushed deeply, an unnatural redness spreading across her face. Despite the freezing sensation in her body, there was also an indescribable comfort—soft, soothing, and terrifying. The contradiction made her mind spin.

Jack's face showed no confusion. Instead, there was pleasure. He smiled, slow and deliberate, as if everything was unfolding exactly as he had anticipated.

"This is not something I did alone," he said. "It is the result of our combined actions."

"What nonsense are you talking about?!" Alice shouted, anger snapping through the haze clouding her mind.

Jack's smile did not fade. "Whether you admit it or not, your body's reaction cannot lie." His voice was calm, almost gentle. "Your body is excited. Do you know why?"

"I only want to kill you!" Alice struggled violently, her muscles screaming in protest.

"Because the T-Cells in our bodies are excited," Jack continued, unbothered. "They long to exchange. You are female. I am male. This result is natural."

"That's impossible!" Alice cried out. Fear finally cracked through her fury.

"Then how do you explain the present condition?" Jack asked. His tone grew colder, more analytical. "T-Cells are lonely. Now that they have discovered a similar excitation, they only wish to fulfill their instinct. We do not need to understand it. We only need to comply."

As his words ended, Jack's body froze again, completely motionless.

"But… hateful… I… I must kill you…" Alice muttered weakly.

A faint purple glow emerged from both of their bodies. At first it was barely visible, like mist under moonlight. Then it grew stronger, thicker, wrapping around them in layered waves of light.

The purple radiance intensified, pulsing like a heartbeat.

Jack could feel it clearly. Inside his body, the T-Cells were no longer dormant. They surged with excitement, vibrating with an overwhelming desire. They wanted to meet the T-Cells within Alice's body. They demanded it.

Alice felt it too.

Something deep within her stirred. A powerful longing rose from her core, irresistible, as though an invisible force was pulling her toward Jack. It was not emotion. It was instinct.

"Ah—!"

Their cries rang out at the same time.

The purple light erupted, flooding the surroundings and turning everything into a sea of violet brilliance. Shadows disappeared. Distance vanished.

Yet Jack and Alice did not move.

They stood frozen, silent, like lifeless statues trapped within the light.

Within an unseen space, far removed from flesh and bone, brilliant purple T-Cells met darker purple ones. They collided, clinging to each other tightly, refusing to separate. Their boundaries blurred as they intertwined.

The merged T-Cells melted together, expanding rapidly. Their mass grew larger and larger until it reached a critical point. Then, with a silent division, it split into two—one brighter, one darker.

The bright T-Cells flowed back into Jack's body.

The darker T-Cells returned to Alice.

The purple light slowly faded, retreating like a dying flame.

Jack and Alice remained motionless.

Time passed.

One hour.

Two.

An entire day slipped by.

Footsteps echoed softly.

A woman entered the area—it was another Alice.

Replica Alice stared at the scene, shock freezing her in place. She already knew who she was. The White Queen had told her everything. She had come here to search for Alice… and Jack.

"What is going on here?" she whispered to herself. "How can the main body be with him?"

Confusion and unease twisted in her chest.

She hurried forward and crouched beside Alice, gently slapping her face.

"Main body… main body… wake up… wake up…"

Alice's eyelids trembled faintly. Her fingers twitched. Something deep within her body seemed to reconnect, as if her veins had finally found their path again.

"Hū… hū…"

Alice's eyes snapped open. She sucked in air desperately, breathing heavily as reality crashed back into her senses.

"Main body, you're awake," a familiar voice said softly.

Alice turned her head.

She saw her own face staring back at her.

"You…" Alice whispered.

"I didn't die," Replica Alice said calmly. "And there are many more 'us'."

Alice let out a faint, exhausted smile. "That… is really good."

"Main body," Replica Alice asked cautiously, "what happened between you and him?"

Alice slowly turned her gaze toward Jack.

In her eyes, shame burned fiercely. Resentment followed. Then hatred—deep, violent, and unrestrained.

"I must kill him," Alice said coldly.

She raised her hand and struck Jack without hesitation. The force sent him flying away, his body crashing violently into the distance.

"Ah—!"

Pain surged through Alice. She cried out, her body trembling as her complexion turned pale.
