CH.2 "we can watch it unravel"

You awoke soundly, wiping the sleep from your eyes and grabbing your plugged in phone to check and see what the time was. It was 1:57 PM and you were late for work by 10 minutes. You sprung off your bed and ran to the bathroom, hurriedly brushing your hair and teeth and straight after tearing your pajamas off your body and getting dressed in your work clothes. You grabbed your keys, wallet, and your phone and you sprinted out the door and ran to your job because it was a block away and you don't drive cars because you're afraid of accidents. When you got through the doors of your workplace you were panting and your hair was slightly a mess. Everyone, including your boss, turned to you with either a raised eyebrow or look of confusion. Your boss strut up to you and the look on his face made you believe you were being fired. You tensed. "You're late, but I'm not going to fire you because you're always usually on time. Never been late." you relaxed slightly. "But next time you're late, you're fired." He walked away with that last bit.
​bit, leaving you slightly worked up about the next time you're late. Whatever, you thought. Walking over to your desk to start your work day.

You left your work place and started towards your apartment, wondering if the mail had arrived. The thought of playing Majoras Mask for the first time in years made you excited, especially since it was your first and favorite game in the Legend of Zelda: series. You smiled. The apartment came into view and you walked at a faster pace, when your phone suddenly started ringing and it turned out to be one of your good friends, Carlos. Carlos was a nice, quiet, charming guy. He was there for you when you need someone and came over every once in awhile.You picked up. "Hey, what's up?" you asked, smiling and walking inside the apartment. "Oh, nothing much. I'm coming over tomorrow though. That's all I gotta say" he laughed. You walked over to the mail boxes and unlocked yours with your keys. "Alright, cool. See you tomorrow, Carlos. Bye!" opening the box and grabbing the letters and package, smiling and closing it. Relocking it too. "Goodbye, y/n." he hung up. You walked up the stairs as you opened the package excitedly, looking slightly confused but excited as you pulled out the cartridge. The cartridge had 'Majora' written on it in sharpie. But never the less, you shrugged it off and ran up to your apartment room and pulled your Nintendo 64 out of the cabinet under your TV and plugged it into the TV and outlet extension behind it, also inserting the cartridge and turning both the TV and console on. You held the controller excitedly, watching the game start up on your TV. You had went into the save files only to notice someone had already had a file and they were surprisingly far into the game, and almost even finished it. The file name was titled as "BEN" and you decided you would delete the file and replace your own, titling yours as Link. You smiled and began your wonderful journey, playing a game you played when you had been younger. As you progressed through the game you had noticed the few glitches that would occasionally come up. The game would occasionally play random cutscenes and the NCPs would call Link by "Link" and sometimes "BEN". You shrugged it off though, and assumed that the cartridge was old and had many problems, considering it may have been in an attic for years. The glitches wouldn't stop you from beating this game. You were determined, and hours had passed and you had gotten farther into the game, with still many glitches. Soon enough you had decided enough had been enough and you wanted to browse the web. You saved the game and shut off the console, setting the controller down right next to it. With the browsing on the internet you had found out many things, about the game, like the 4th day glitch. And just about when you were done with the day a certain thread caught your eye. BEN drowned. As you read through, you had noticed the same glitches you had experienced. Maybe you had encountered BEN, maybe its a joke. You weren't sure, you just thought about disposing of the cartridge so if it was real you wouldn't have to be haunted by BEN. You just sighed, unsure.
