Dark and empty void. (Y/N) (L/N) is sleeping and slowly falling head first into nothing. He slowly opens his eyes to see the entire nothingness of his surroundings. Making him blink numerous times just to make sure his eyes are open. Slowly starting to panic, looking for a way out. Looking for something. Anything for him to go straight towards. With every head-turn and breath he takes, he is slowly losing hope.

Suddenly, a light shines from below, towards where he is slowly falling down to. The light is different. It felt calming, warm and gentle to gaze at. Something (Y/N) haven't felt for a long time. Easy, calming, pleasure.

He gazed into the light, shedding a tear as he reaches his hand towards it. He then felt a gentle embrace from behind, gently caressing their cheek to him. And just when he was about to turn, they whispered...

"Do not lose hope. I will be here for you."

(Y/N): Huh?

Suddenly, he starts falling faster than before.

================================================================================

He then wakes up finding himself on the floor, face first and his phone alarm ringing. He slowly stands up and reaches for his phone, before staring at it blankly for a whole minute. Until he noticed the date...

"July 1st, 20XX -- Back To School!"

(Y/N): Crap!

After getting all dressed up, and putting the toast on his mouth, he then rushes out of the apartment room.

The apartment is like any other average apartment. Not too fancy nor shabby. (Y/N) is currently leaving on the the third floor, one floor up before one reaches the roof.

All excited and determined to start his new year of college life, he rushes towards the stairs. Which made him slip on a banana peel, tumbling all the way down to the second floor and dropping his toast.

Writhing in pain, he brushes off the dirt and walks off.

(Y/N): A banana peel? That's so cliché.

He stated before proceeding to the next set of stairs, forgetting about the toast he dropped on the ground, in which he accidentally steps and slips from it, and now tumbling all the way down to the ground floor.

Groaning in pain, he lays flat on the ground. Staring up at the sky.

(Y/N): Can't this day get any worse?

He asked rhetorically, which in turn he received a toast to the face.

He couldn't help but to simply sigh, before finally getting back up and brush himself off. And just before he makes another step, he sees another banana peel that is close enough for him to step on.

(Y/N): Yeah, no. Not gonna happen.

He stated and then placing his foot away from the banana peel. 

Accident has been avoided, he smiles in confidence and makes his way to his bicycle. All smug and happy, he steps on something.

(Y/N): ...

It's not slippery, like the rest he has stepped on. But it was something everyone would really want to avoid.

(Y/N): ...

Especially, if they are wearing brand new shoes.

(Y/N): Please, don't do this to me...

He looks down, and sees dog poop all over the bottom of his left shoe.
