Amethyst Genesis: Bleeding Ruby

3:22

Year 2???, March 22nd, 3:22 PM Eastern Time...

A metropolis boasted vast expanse under rain during spring. Monsoon season.
All the movement from the world came to a pause of purplish light begins to descend upon a bustling city, forming a dome in the sky that obscures the sun.
The vision is silenced by a crescendo of confused murmurs and then screams...

"Goodbye #3..." A wistful  voice of a woman said before the world collided with the haze.

*BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!*

Year 3135, March 22nd, 3:22 PM Eastern Time.

An alarm shrieks loudly on a sleepy golden morning, while slivers of light sneak through the window blinds. A hand from the bed next to the alarm stand gropes the air to silence the alarm, fumbling to find its exact spot on the desk. A figure shuffles out from under the sheets, groggy and disoriented. It's a young man, who stretches from his nest of blankets, his muscles and joints popping in a satisfying symphony. The young man shakes off his blankets and rises. His soft yellow hair flutters as he combs it in front of the nightstand mirror, his face clean and skin fair, his eyes free of bags—a gift from a lifetime of good rest. He smiles at the sight of his well-cared-for appearance; it pleases him. His blanket falls exposing the crimson red mark on his neck. From a first glance it barely resembles any known words. But if one were to squint, it would look like a 3.
He pulls on his baggy black pants and a vibrant red sweater, then stumbles into the living room with barely opened eyes. The hallway is lined with photos and frames of him, his mother, and a girl about his age, all smiling. Reaching the kitchen, he spots a picture on the table showing his mother and childhood friend gathered around him, blowing out birthday cake candles. Hal sighs nostalgically. Turning to the fridge, he spots the note. Aside from that; money was paired with it well under the magnet.
Hal took both from the magnet and read the note, as he stored the money in his wallet.
"Happy birthday Hal, sent on a trip overseas, I'll be home in 2 weeks, make sure Kara stays out of trouble. Love Mom." Hal read the note aloud, while putting on his shoes excitedly.
It was time to see Kara.
Hal chuckled to himself, neatly folding the paper into quarters and tucking it into his pocket. He stepped out the door and softly closed it behind him. Outside, the brightness of the sun contrasted with the fresh scent of settled rain. The road was quiet, devoid of traffic, yet bustling with people. Children played in the puddles left by the rain, while adults gathered on the nearby home's stairs. The absence of vehicles was compensated by the sparse groups of people . The neighborhood's wide streets lined with apartments and homes lined with abundant facilities brought order to the contained chaos. Hal wandered within the crowds. A child strayed from the herd and into a bike's path. Hal payed no mind as he yanked the child by their collar as the biker managed to brake in time. Just as planned.
"Just one part of a massive whole"  Hal thought to himself as he pat the child on the head and nodded in thanks to the biker woman. As Hal walked further He noticed a fallout between lovers. Both with various insectoid features on their faces. A pair of mandibles. And an extra pair of eyes.
They clashed and shouted on the doorsteps of an apartment over something irrelevant; trivial. Hal bumped into one of them on purpose.
"Whoops." Hal said as a red box fell out of the mans pocket. His wife's mandible twitched in curiosity as she stopped shouting. Hal watched from a far to see them embrace and make up.
He made his way through the streets and entered a quaint coffee shop. As always, it buzzed with life, the aroma of freshly brewed coffee mingling with the subtle scent of pancakes, creating a perfectly controlled chaos of clattering plates, a handful of chattering patrons, and boiling water. Hal sat down and gestured for a waiter. He ordered a tea.
"Hey, Hal, you need something else?" The waiter asked, with baggy eyes staring back at him as he poured tea.
"Nothing really, just here to see Kara." Hal said gently still groggy.
"You know you can just walk in, we wont stop you with that." The waiter says before turning to see a man by the counter gorging on sweets while writing every item down on a tab.
