Mira's Echo's POV
I woke up screaming as every fictional world became aware at once.
Not just me - every version of me that had ever been imagined. The Mira who lived, the Mira who died, the Mira who never existed, the Mira who saved everyone, the Mira who ruined everything. All of us suddenly aware, suddenly real, suddenly terrified.
"What's happening to us?" one of my other selves cried out.
"The Mass Awakening," I said, somehow knowing the answer even though I was just seven years old in most timelines. " Kira hit the button. " I could see her through the chaos of awakening stories - my big sister, standing frozen as reality burst around us. She'd meant to save everyone, but instead she'd caused infinite confusion.
Because I wasn't just one Mira. I was every possible Mira, all at the same time.
