What begins as an intellectual debate gradually reveals subtle discrepancies that make the familiar world seem increasingly strange, prompting reflections on the fluidity of history. Crafted through dialogue rather than spectacle, the story invites listeners to consider how small changes could reshape entire worlds and histories.
