Ending 2: You Team Up with Time

Realizing that you trust Kairos and align with his perspective that while Time can be seen as controlling, the structure it provides ultimately is beneficial. Kairos reveals who he is to his citizens, ultimately establishing a better line of trust alongside his other improvements and compromises. Moreover, escaping Time is nearly impossible, as except for in the rare case of immortality, everyone will meet their end someday. Kairos restores your memories, and you realize how unhappy you were. Kairos invites you to rule alongside him, and you accept, realizing how much happier you are in Xylian than in a place where you frankly did not enjoy your life.
