A reborn adult trapped in a tiny body awakens to surging energy and discovers two superpowers—time control and telekinesis—but his small form is already saturated and must digest the power slowly. He and other survivors are taken to a human settlement shelter that he remembers as exploitative hell. Later, sharing chicken soup, a girl thanks him and calls him "Dad," which startles him because he can’t yet speak; he revels in being a father, but the child soon complains, "Dad, stop spinning—I'm getting dizzy," leaving his new role and unstable powers unresolved.
