— CH. 03 "VOID"

Black. So much of it, an endless void of black. That is what [Y/N] opened their eyes to, a pitch black void.  Oddly enough though, they were illuminated and could see themselves clearly.

"Hello?" They called out, but their words came out raspy and a bit dry, 'Perks of being knocked out,' they thought sarcastically.

They decided to walk around and keep calling out, but to no avail, it didn't seem like they were making any progress on where they are, nor did anybody call back to them.

That was until they heard footsteps that were not theirs. [Y/N] turned around quickly and watched someone emerge from the pitch black shadows.

They had the same colours that [Y/N] had on their flag, but instead of just [c/1], white, and [c/2], they had some coat of arms thing in the middle.

[Y/N]'s golden eyes widened, could this person be their relative? [Y/N] and the figure locked eyes, and that's when they noticed that this mystery person had the same coloured eyes as them!

"Hello?" [Y/N] called out, walking towards them which soon broke out into a sprint.

"Hello [Y/N]," the figure said quite fondly, walking towards [Y/N]. The two now stood in front of each other, and [Y/N] could see that this possible relative was much taller than them.

"How.. how do you know my name?" They questioned, peering up. The larger [Y/N] lookalike just laughed, "Do you really not recognize your own father?"

There was a thick silence, [Y/N]'s mouth was wide open.

[Y/N] furrowed their brows, "Really? I have no recollection of a father," [Y/N] trailed off. Their supposed father frowned slightly at this, and then sat down.

"We have some time to talk, care for me to explain?" He let put a bashful smile, and patted the ground for [Y/N] to sit next to him.

[Y/N] pursed their lips and then decided to sit next to him, what else was there to do?

— MEANWHILE

Canada was carrying [Y/N] on his back, walking to the shore to meet the boats that just arrived.

America groaned, "I can't believe this!" Canada hummed, "Yeah, but get going! You're not the person with someone on their back,"  Canada said hurriedly. While [Y/N] wasn't that big, it certainly wasn't comfortable to carry someone all the way down shore.

"Yeah yeah," America sighed while waving off Canada. They continued to traverse their way down to the shore, careful to avoid any branches and other tripping hazards.

They were getting pretty close now, they could hear the noisy engines and the sound of people conversing... and probably arguing.

America jumped off a small ledge onto the rocky beachside, helping Canada down.
