The Echo of Dubbed Voices

“Lucas? Por que você está chorando? O que aconteceu com a sua voz?”

He touched his throat. Nothing came out. Not even a whisper. Only the faint, ghostly echo of a dubbing actor, trapped in a timeline that no longer had a script for him.

He had wanted to change the past. Instead, he became a dub of himself—someone else's voice, someone else's pain, playing on repeat.

He tried to call for help. What came out was a line from the movie: “Você não pode fazer o papel de Deus.” (You cannot play God.)
