He shares his regrets, desires, and the horrors of World War II. Consigning himself to death, Ethan finishes his story and awaits his judgment.But rather than receiving a decisive end, the faceless stranger offers Ethan a precious gift: the ability to alter the past from the present. Upon accepting his gift, Ethan is warned that he must use its powers wisely, as the fate of his soul depends upon his decisions.
