“My name doesn’t matter,” he answered, his voice deep. “I’m a descendant of Ilsa, the only name we speak.”
“Ilsa?” Tilda repeated.
“Yes. I have something to show you.”
The man pulled out a metallic object, shining golden even in the scant light. Tilda recognized the shape — the sign for infinity. Her heart leapt back to life, consumed with so much joy she worried of dying, right there in the alley, the victim of too much emotion at once.
“What . . . how?” she sputtered, confusion threatening to destroy her elation at seeing the device.
The man spoke with soothing tones. “Ilsa commanded her posterity to study the sciences, find a way to travel through time. And we’ve done it. And you, Tilda, you are our first mission. I was sent here to get you.” He reached out and gently helped her stand up, his touch bringing a warmth she hadn’t felt in a long time.
“Thank you,” she said, too dazed to find any other words.
“Come,” he said, holding out the golden device for her to grasp. “We need you to show us the way.”

Tilda’s determined to ruin it ALL.
She’s a high-ranking member of the SQ. Due to her fire-bright hair and eccentric outfit choices, we know her as the Lady in Red. And the thing that makes her so absolutely, terribly dangerous is that she has stolen the technology that you perfected and used it to create her own time-travel device: the Eternity Ring. She can be anywhere, at any time. And she’ll be aiming for the Breaks — aiming for YOU!
You’ll need to jump around through time, revisiting moments where history was broken, making sure she doesn’t have the chance to cause any trouble! Breaks you thought you had already fixed? Moments that you know you set right? These are her targets. She’s determined to destroy all the work you’ve done — unless you can get there and stop her.
