Summary
After a mission goes horribly wrong, Nara Shikadai finds himself in a world that feels like everything's been turned upside down. Some people he knows never exist in this world. Those who do, haven't the slightest clue who he is. He scrambles to cling onto what's familiar, all the while trying to find his way home. It's a race against time. Because if Shikadai doesn't find his way back soon? He may never go home.

Nara Shikamaru's life had taken a downward spiral years ago. One mission had destroyed any hope of him having a long-term shinobi career. He'd been told countless times that loss was normal in this work. That it was something everyone had to endure at one point, just that it had struck Shikamaru faster than others.
But it wasn't a simple manner of losing. He'd been the one to lead his team into disaster. A boy he'd known nearly his entire life was dead. Another boy with a bright future had perished too. And he'd always have played a role in that. It didn't matter if others could forgive him, for he'd never be able to do the same.
