"Get out of the way, big bro!"

Shinichiro was taken aback to see his little brother racing toward him, clutching his Concorde toy. "M-Manjiro..?" He couldn't believe what he was seeing.

Mikey had the brightest smile on his face, "Move, move, move!" he said as he jumped over the couch and accidentally kicked Shinichiro in the face—but Shinichiro didn't mind. His head landed on the couch, and his eyes looked at the ceiling. He was so confused; he had no idea what was happening. Then he began to wonder if he was dreaming.—he just jumped off a bridge. He thought that he was supposed to be dead after jumping off the bridge and into the river moments before..

"Everything alright over there? You got jumped on."

Shinichiro's eyes widened in shock when he heard a familiar voice near him, he sat up from the couch, then turned to where he heard the voice, and he was surprised when he saw his childhood friend, "Takeomi..?" he whispered.

"Hey! You woke Shin up!" Takeomi yelled at the young Mikey.

Shinichiro couldn't help but look at him in pure shock. Then the calendar behind Takeomi caught his attention, his eyes widened when he saw the date—July 30, 1999. It was the same date...but four years ago.

Mikey walked up to his older brother with his concorde toy still in his hands. Shinichiro noticed his little brother approaching him, and he couldn't help but feel so relieved. Mikey looked at Shinichiro in disappointment and said, "You usually would've avoided that.."

Tears instantly formed in Shinichiro's eyes when he heard Mikey spoke—he couldn't help it, because he never knew that he'll able to see his brother...moving.

Mikey flinched when he noticed his older brother in tears, "Gah! Don't cry, Shinichiro!"

Shinichiro folded his lips as he stood up from the couch. He ran to where his brother was standing...and hugged him tight. Mikey's eyes widened when he heard Shinichiro sobbing softly as he hugged him. He began panicking, "W-WHAT?! DID IT HURT THAT MUCH?!" Shinichiro didn't respond, he continued hugging Manjiro tight as hot tears stream down his face. "You're acting so weird, Shinichiro!" Manjiro yelled.

"So it wasn't a dream.." Shinichiro whispered.

Manjiro was taken aback a little. "Huh?"

"Manjiro.." Shinichiro sniffed, then his lips slowly curved into a small smile. "..do you want to start riding bikes?"

Shinichiro

This ain't a dream.

I'm suddenly living the exact same day four years ago, when I should've been dead.

I..

I really did leap through time!

Therefore I must fix this life.

Since this isn't a dream, this time I'll protect Manjiro and [first name]..

Speaking of [first name], I wonder where she is at the moment? I didn't see her at home earlier. I looked down and at my pocket and pulled out my phone to check the time. It was 3:30 pm.
