The first thing Alfred did after he arrived was kill the little girl named Kaia.
It cost him nothing.

Alfred’s presence here was an anomaly from the start.

By the time this world’s consciousness registered what had happened and finally stirred its sluggish awareness to life, Kaia’s body was already cold.
In the same instant, countless threads of consciousness erupted, tangling into a cacophony of overlapping voices.
“The protagonist is dead. Now what?”
“Now what? It is what it is. The story hasn’t even started yet. Just find a replacement.”
“Get rid of this outsider first.”
The murmuring dissolved before it could fully take shape.
Alfred moved faster.
Everyone close to Kaia was dealt with within a single day.
It wasn’t difficult.
Those people had no defense against him, and they were foolish enough not to even consider running.
Whether the children begged or tried to reason with him, he treated them all with the same indifference.
Alfred couldn’t stay in this place much longer.
He could feel the rejection force building. This world’s consciousness had awakened, and it was already pushing him out.
He moved faster, tracking down Maya to confirm the details and clearing out everyone who stood in the way.
By the next morning, everything around the Jacksons had transformed completely.

Blood still stained his clothes. He’d expected her to shrink away from him the way she usually did.
Instead, the moment she saw him coming, she stepped forward and wrapped her arms around his waist.
Alfred hesitated, then rested a hand gently on her head. “I came to say goodbye,” he said softly.
“Is that so?” Maya smiled, quiet and steady. “You’re like a fairy godmother in a story, or one of the old fae who grants a child’s wish and then disappears?”
Alfred accepted that. “Yeah.”
“Alright.” She had always been old for her age, and the understanding in her voice carried a weight that had no business living in someone so young. “Though I’m pretty sure you’re not actually any kind of fairy You might even be genuinely terrible.
“But I like you.”
The girl presse yours now.”

The system on this end had run through countless story threads.
And it had discovered that the timeline this memory-awakened Alfred had stepped into was, against all probability, one of Maya’s few genuinely good endings.
It was speechless.

On the other side, Maya crept back into the house and quietly lifted the jacket from the couch, wrapping it carefully around herself to hide the blood staining her clothes beneath.
She moved upstairs to find the brother she’d left behind.
Alfred looked like someone still half-inside a long, unpleasant dream that hadn’t fully released him.
His gaze rested on something that wasn’t there, his eyes soft and unfocused.
