The Weaponization of Time

Time is not a neutral backdrop but an active, predatory force that distorts perception, erodes agency, and fractures identity, memory, and reality. Characters confront temporal anomalies that challenge their sense of self, often becoming trapped in cycles of captivity or weaponized manipulation. The manipulation of time carries catastrophic consequences, warning that temporal intervention is a form of historical violence and that the self is not immutable. Time must be respected, not mastered, as its manipulation always brings moral wounds and existential danger.
