==== 9.13. Reversal at the Baseline Gate ====
\\
(Location: Junction 9, Frog Alignment Corridor) \\

**Description:** \\
Marked only on obsolete railway maps, Junction 9 was a dead-end spur that terminated in a concrete wall. In front of it stood a gate carved with frogs in symmetrical combat poses, as if croaking at each other across time. Juna placed a coin in the center seal, and the wall reversed---became glass, became screen, became film. Behind it: looping footage of Judai and Juna themselves, boarding the bubble train from earlier that week. But something was wrong---Judai wore the frog emblem on the wrong side. “It’s a mirrored baseline,” she said. The frogs on the gate began to glow. Above the wall, the moon split briefly into two. \\

**Very Short Story:** \\
Judai touched the glass and it rippled. His handprint appeared on the other side---but the figure inside didn’t move. Juna knocked twice. A croak echoed from within. “That's not us now,” she whispered. “It’s us from a version that stayed.” The gate closed slowly behind them. The footage vanished. Only the frogs remained, their carvings now reversed---right where left had been. \\
