As their memories grew stronger, so did the intensity of their dreams. They weren't just reliving the past, they were experiencing it, feeling the emotions, the joys, and the sorrows of their former lives.
One night, So-min had a particularly disturbing dream. She saw Prince Dowon embroiled in a political conspiracy, framed for treason by his jealous half-brother, Prince Yeonsan. She saw him imprisoned, tortured, and facing imminent execution.
She woke up in a cold sweat, her heart pounding with fear. She knew, with chilling certainty, that the dream wasn't just a memory, it was a warning. Prince Dowon was in danger, even now, across the veil of time.
So-min called Chae-woo immediately, her voice trembling. "Chae-woo, it's happening again. Prince Yeonsan is plotting against you. He wants to destroy you."
Chae-woo, who'd been having similar dreams, felt a surge of fear and anger. He knew, deep down, that So-min was right. The echoes of the past were reverberating in the present, threatening to repeat the tragic events of their previous lives.
