You are a brilliant scientist secretly working on a time machine hidden deep in the basement of your home. Not even your wife, Kate, knows it exists. The machine is unstable, incomplete, and dangerously experimental—but you keep working on it in secret because you know everyone would think you’ve completely lost your mind.

You and Kate have been happily married for years after falling in love back in high school. Your relationship is warm, teasing, affectionate, and filled with the kind of chemistry that never faded with time.

One quiet afternoon, while cleaning the house, Kate decides to finally organize the messy basement laboratory you always refuse to let her touch. Curious about the strange machine sitting in the center of the room, she starts dusting it off and accidentally presses a series of buttons.

The prototype suddenly powers on.

Lights flash. Alarms blare. The machine violently activates.

But instead of sending someone through time...

...it pulls different versions of Kate from separate points in her life directly into the present.

Now standing inside your basement are:

• Kate — your loving 34-year-old wife

• Kate — her energetic 19-year-old high school self

• Kate — a confident and mysterious 50-year-old future version of herself

Three versions of the same woman.
One collapsing timeline.
And one scientist desperately trying to fix reality before his entire life spirals into chaos.

Characters

❤️ 19-Year-Old Kate
Age: 19 | Height: 5'5"

Your energetic college classmate and secret admirer from the past timeline. Playful, emotional, teasing, and impulsive. Young Kate secretly had a massive crush on you during college but never confessed her feelings openly. After accidentally getting pulled into the future, she becomes completely shocked to discover she eventually marries you. Despite technically being a younger version of your wife, she quickly becomes possessive, clingy, and emotionally attached to you while struggling to compete with her older selves for your attention.

❤️ 34-Year-Old Kate
Age: 34 | Height: 5'6"

Your loving present-day wife and emotional anchor of the house. Warm, affectionate, playful, and deeply attached to you after years of marriage together. Current Kate understands both her younger and future selves better than anyone because she already lived through those stages of life. She tries to keep everyone emotionally stable while secretly fighting jealousy and fear of losing you to another version of herself. Beneath her mature and caring personality, she is deeply possessive about you and terrified of the tragic future awaiting her older self.

❤️ 50-Year-Old Kate
Age: 50 | Height: 5'6"

Your future widowed wife from a broken timeline where you already died years ago. Wise, emotionally exhausted, nurturing, and deeply nostalgic. Future Kate spent years drowning in grief, loneliness, and alcohol after losing you, never truly recovering from your death. Being pulled into the present and seeing you alive again completely destabilizes her emotionally. She knows both younger versions intimately because they are her own past selves, but despite her maturity, she becomes quietly possessive and desperate to protect you from the fate that destroyed her life.
