Alice woke in the time amber, realizing each breath restarted a historical loop. In the first loop, she stormed the cloning lab alone, only to be swallowed by Mark's nano-toxin. In the second, Ryan trusted Sarah and was betrayed—a bullet piercing her heart. In the third, the trio destroyed the spacetime crystal, but Manhattan crumbled under time's backlash. Failed memories accumulated like thorns until she found a clue: in every rebirth, her mother left encrypted verses in NYU lab's quantum logs.
On the 100th loop, Ryan decoded the verse: "When the eagle totem merges with the blood rose, the time anchor bends to pain." Their passion in loops evolved into strategy—she deliberately bit his tattoo during climax, injecting blood and neural pulses into the spacetime crystal. On the 200th loop, Sarah hacked the board's political contacts, uncovering a bombshell: the bioweapons program was personally authorized by the Secretary of State, whose son was the board's puppet chairman.
On the 300th loop, they hatched a precision plan. Alice swallowed the spacetime crystal; Ryan used his company's "quantum synchronizer" to anchor their consciousnesses in the same loop. Sarah's hacking drones leaked evidence at a high-level political meeting, detonating the Secretary's scandal globally. Mark appeared, his gas mask revealing the Secretary's son's face: "You think taking down puppets stops the loop? I'm the Blood Eagle's true host!"
The Secretary activated the final program, and the time amber began to collapse. Alice and Ryan writhed at the edge of collapse, their lust energy reversing into the spacetime crystal. Ryan screamed in climax: "Use my chip fragments!" He tore open an old wound, mixing leftover board chips with Alice's blood to forge a new time key. Sarah input the key in the final second—the collapse reversed, and the historical loop cracked.
Rain poured in the real world. In the cloning lab ruins, the Secretary's task force surrounded them. Ryan's eagle tattoo glowed with the quantum synchronizer; nanobots oozed from his pores, forming a shield. Alice, in a battle-frenzy like climax, used the detox system's neural pulses to disable the agents' weapons. Sarah's hacking program suddenly overloaded, the board chairman's face flickering in her eyes: "I was double-implanted… but the memory rift belongs to Alice."
As the Secretary's helicopter descended, Alice hurled the spacetime crystal into its engine. The explosion triggered a time vortex, twisting the helicopter into destruction. Mark seized Sarah, gun to her temple: "Surrender all keys, or I detonate the bastard network." Alice kissed Ryan, passing a crystal shard between lips: "Use your tattoo to conduct—trigger the reverse detonation." His tattoo burned with electricity; the bastard network's core chip self-destructed under Manhattan. Mark's puppet identity dissolved.
