Latika

* Portrait
* 2D Live
* Leaper Phase

## Basic Files:

The traveler Latika cannot be precisely defined.

She is a part of time that exists in the space we are in. The civilization of the entire universe seemed is more like a little adventure to her. She gradually had consciousness, mastered all the civilizations of this universe, and even had a physical body in the great explosion over a long period of time. Her cold exterior conceals a unique perspective of compassion and care for the civilizations that have been destroyed.

## Deep Level Files

### Background Story (I): Time

Human beings use certain laws of matter that are not affected by external forces as parameters to measure time, which is supposed to be abstract.

No one who loves science can avoid the discussion of "time," neither can I, until Latika showed up.

She claims to be a part of time, a small shadow time cast on our universe.

She talks and walks like a human being and she understands every moment of the entire civilization process of the universe... She can even turn time back to a certain moment-- though she tells us with certainty that the ending is a fate that cannot be changed and going back will only make things much worse.

Anyway, all this fascinates me! Science is the means by which human beings describe the known laws and it is also everything to be overturned and explored!

One day I will unlock the mystery of the universe and time!

### Background Story (II): Indifference

Ms. Latika has little contact with other Leapers on base, she is aloof, arrogant and even a bit godlike in the eyes of others.

But I know that's not the case. Ms. Latika said she didn't know how to deal with the requests to turn back the clock and start over.

"When I started to have consciousness and feel joy, maybe I have been captivated by the civilization of the universe," Ms. Latika once said,

"If there was oven the slightest possibility of a different result, I would never say no."

You can never change the future by going back to the past.

I don't need to ask her how she came to this conclusion as she must have tried everything.

So it is Ms. Latika's tenderness and compassion that make those unrealistic expectations dissipate.

The end of kindness is indifference, for solitude carries much more conviction than useless affection.

### Background Story (III): Epiphyllum

Sometimes I would meet Ms. Latika at the botanical garden, she seems to have some interest in it, and we would have a chat while I'm taking care of the plants.

Ms. Latika loves epiphyllums on Earth and there are a few of them in the botanical garden.

We waited for the epiphyllums to bloom, as recorded in the book, they bloomed quietly and soon withered. By contrast, I prefer wind rose which symbolizes eternity.

I couldn't help asking Ms. Latika why she liked such fleeting flowers. "The civilizations in the universe are just like the epiphyllums, shining brightly as they bloom, but only a flash in the pan. I do, however, appreciate and admire their efforts."

That answer is typical of Ms. Latika. For me, eons of time... no! Every moment is extremely precious in the years of migration with the wind.

### Background Story (IV): Space

Latika started the "Navigator Project" to repair the damage caused by "Imaginary Space".

Imaginary Space-- a void without time but full of unknowns.

We are both from other space. Every piece of the universe has its established direction and it won't make any difference no matter what you do.

If Gala's unrealistic fantasies are the natural fearlessness and ignorance of human beings in the realm of the unknown, then Latika's behavior are much harder to understand.

She empathizes with the creatures of this universe and tries to save them with her power over and over again, which is just ridiculous.

It's like humans start to care about ants on the ground, trying to understand their thoughts and protect them.

Gaia would surely say "it's different."

But in my view it's no different.

### Background Story (V): Civilization

File: Navigator Log

No.: Navigation-000

Classification:☆☆☆☆☆ Top Secret

Content:

I am a part of time and I am everywhere. For individuals, the development of a civilization is linear, but for me is a storybook that can be turned to any page and its pages can be dog-eared and torn off.

hen I started to have consciousness and thoughts that grew in the great explosion, I began to feel emotions for the characters in the storybook and feel sorry for the civilization that came to an abrupt end in the disaster.

I turned back the clock and tried to save something.

But no matter how many times I tried, I couldn't change the ending and it even resulted in a more serious consequence-- Imaginary Space.

So I started the "Navigator Project" to undo the damage of my violation of the rules of the universe, repair the distorted space and save the lost civilizations.

I love the light of those civilizations shining brightly in the universe.
