Bella Owens was a college student who lived away from home and off-campus. Her daily routine was getting up at 6 AM, working out, hygienic functions, heading off to her lectures, then to her part-time job (which was being a barista), going home to watch prerecorded lectures, and then start on her schoolwork. She's been doing this for the past 3 years of her life and this has become a habit for her; Bella can go through her day subconsciously.
One morning, Bella woke up to the soft and comforting aroma of coffee. She ruffled her hair and rubbed her eyes before putting on glasses. Bella made her way to the kitchen and was met by a figure dressed in black rags, standing by the marble counter. Bella couldn't make out what his facial features were like.
The Grim Reaper, Bella thought. What is happening?
There were two cups on the table. The figure poured the brewed coffee into both of the cups and took notice of Bella, who was standing frozen with her eyes wide. She opened her mouth to say something but nothing came.
"Don't freak out," The figure says, offering her one of the cups of coffee. His voice was deep but clear sounding.
