I look around confused, where am i..? This place seems familiar but so unfamiliar at the same time knock some kid with brown spikey hair hit me on the head. I chased after him, "hey...i know this kid. Kazu! That was kazu." I thought to myself chasing him, why did he have a school bag though...as he goes in my eyes make contact with the building... my old elementary school. When i walk in to go to my old class all i hear is chitter and chatter, "1988, February 15th." I think to myself. My teacher yashiro wakes in the class.

Yashiro: good morning, everyone! Whats wrong,
satoru? Take your seat already.

I respond with "oh yeah, right."

Where was my seat again? I just sat in a random chair and hoped I was right. I was wrong..., one of my classmates said "satoru are you half sleep. That's hinazuki's seat."

Yashiro: Monday..., kayo's late again this week, huh?

Oh right...my seat is near the annoying pink haired girl. As i take my seat next to her she says "do you like kayo, fujinuma?, you two weridos would make the perfect couple." After this gurl final put her voice anyway my teacher started to take attendance, is this real life? Why did i end up here? What's going on? We're talking about 18 years ago here!

Kenya: what's up, satoru?

I say back "my head kinda hurts. Im going to the nurse's office.

Kenya: with your bag?

I look back at him.

Kenya: whatever, ill let the teacher know.

I run down the stairs as fast as i possibly can, what the heck is going on here...is this revival? As i run out the building i trip and fall but I keep running, a girl with a red coat crosses paths with me but i have no time to think about who that is I NEED TO GET HOME.

When i get to the apartment i try to open the door as im pulling at the door a car pulls up and one of my neighbors comes out side, almost had me scared for a second. I turn around and do a quick bow then my foot kicks something, ah that's right, mom would usually be at work right now. As i bend over to reach for the key hidden under the blue box. I open the door to my childhood apartment, just standing there in complete shock before almost bursting out into tears. Wondering around the house i find my old childhood hero mask, before I know it i was slumped on my bedroom floor with that mask in hand. The front door opened and now i could see a tall lady standing before me, "hey there kiddo" she said to me. It was mom...i was brought to tears before I even knew it. "Whats wrong" she said as I replied "nothing, just happy to see you" "you little werido" she said letting out a soft chuckle. "So what do you want for dinner, hamburger or meatballs" "uh, hamburger" I replied. Some time passes until she says "You getting hungry or what" "mhm" I replied.
As we were eating the hamburgers she says "your in a good mood, not like this morning when you pitched your little fit, guess you found your recorder huh" "yeah i did, im sorry" i said back, "it's nothing to cry about kiddo" she said.

I remember moments like this, i guess back then i never thought that they'd be so important. I let times like this slip by, without even thinking about it. This IS revival, it's another chance and there's no way ill let this one slip by. "Mom its really good, thank you" "hm? are you sure your ok" she replies, "thanks for dinner" as i do a slight hand bow, "your welcome". As i was walking to school I thought to myself "am I supposed to do the next 18 years over again?", one of my friends named osamu interrupts this thought though with a "morning satoru" "hey osamu, mornin' ". If this is revival then im here for one reason, to stop something bad from happening, maybe to save my mom, i have to start here but why so far back nothing seems off here. Suddenly the same red coat lady catches my eyes, that's kayo hinazuki, she lived alone with her mom too. I try to get back into paying attention to the lesson but then kayo drops what seemed to be a compass, as she bends down i see it. A bruise on her upper left thigh, but how'd she even get that. During playtime or i guess you could call it recess, osamu kept yapping about how there's no one to talk dragon quest within our friend group(osamu, me, kenya, kazu, and hiromi). Kenya then started talking about how if we all liked the same thing it would be boring or something. Then out of nowhere he says
