If only...

SUNNY woke up after exploring and having adventures in HEADSPACE, which is a place that he considers home compared to the REAL WORLD. It was nothing like HEADSPACE and it helps him forget of what happened on that day. As he sat up from his bed, he noticed some boxes around his room. It was almost time for him to move away from FARAWAY TOWN, which he hated. When his mom told him about the plan of moving, SUNNY didn't really react as much as it can help forget everything and he didn't want to be a burden to everyone else. As he looked at his nightstand, there was a frame with photo of his entire family but the attention was appointed to him and his older sister, MARI.

It has been exactly four years ever since she passed away. 

He grabbed the frame and sighed as he prayed for his guilt to go away, but SUNNY automatically knew that it's never going away. After a few moments, SUNNY puts the frame down on his nightstand and notices that his phone was beeping, indicating that there was a phone message. He clicked the phone to hear what message there was.

MOMMY: "Hey SUNNY, it's MOMMY. How are you doing? Are you eating well? I was hoping that I could make it back to see you today, but it's the last day of a big furniture sale and I just can't resist a good bargain!"

Of course. She's still not here. No one is here.

MOMMY: "You can take care of yourself for a few days, right? After all, you're a big boy now! Remember to finish your chores before I get back. I left a list on the table next to your door."

SUNNY looked at his chores list and remembered that he completed all of his chores yesterday. He believes that hard work always pays off in his own way. Actions have consequences.

MOMMY: "Okay, that's it for now! MOMMY loves you!" 

The message ended.

SUNNY's mother has been away from home for a little while because of her job. IN the past, she was always there with this father to support the group.

The... group.

After SUNNY started to remember the group, he started to panic a bit. He has never visited either of his friends ever since MARI's funeral. MARI's death was the reason why SUNNY felt this way. He defined himself as the human form of depression. He thinks he's going to be like this for the rest of his life. At the same time, he wonders what they've all been up to and was thinking about stopping by. After realizing that this idea was bad, he shook his head and ignored the idea.
