‍ ‍ now that you finally found your soulmate, you just wanted to spend more time with baji and also with the persons who temporarily made your life happy. you wanted to be able to relax and enjoy yourself. you didn't mind traveling with your friends because you appreciated their company. but, as usual, fate intervened- luck has never been on your side. you could never defeat fate no matter how hard you tried. one thing you wished you didn't have was fatal familial insomnia. from your father's side, it began with your grandfather and has been passed down to you. initially, they assumed it would be on youe older brother but regrettably, it's on you. it would mean that you'd always suffer in your sleep because of it, but fortunately for you, you were spared any nightmares. however, it also meant that the dreams would grow more powerful and vivid than before.

‍ ‍ you've got a lovely brother, a best friend that anyone wants to date, a perfect soulmate but on top of that, you don't have any happiness. you've been given everything you ever wanted and all you want now is a way to get away from reality. there's nothing wrong with having problems or people who aren't happy with you, but you'd like to think that there's something special about your brother. it doesn't matter how happy you were in life - no matter how wonderful your friend, parents, brothers, cousins, or even other people - it didn't last and things eventually went downhill.

‍ ‍ despite having an ideal soulmate, a wonderful brother, and a best friend who everyone wants to date, you are still unhappy. now that you have everything you ever wished for, all you want is a way to escape reality. no matter how content you were with life, how amazing your friends, parents, brothers, cousins, or even other people were- it didn't last, and soon things started to go south. wherever you go, you will never be able to escape your shadow. even after all these years, your shadow will always remain by your side, serving as a constant reminder of how worthless you really are.

‍ ‍ your life was enjoyable before your condition started last year. now, you're living this nightmare of living life like a robot. you have no idea how things started, but thanks to your brother and friends for sticking by you while your life started to fall apart. you were able to forget your problems because of them, even just for the meantime. they brought joy into your life. you occasionally still reflect on those times, wishing that things had gone differently. no matter where you point a gun or a knife, things will come back at you again.

‍ ‍ "one more sigh and i won't hesitate to stuff this on your mouth." blinking out of your thoughts, you snapped your head at his assertion and cleared the lump in your throat, feeling threatened. despite the fact that you and Mickey weren't very close, you had always had a soft place for him and sensed that something wasn't quite right about him. his usually jovial demeanor appeared reserved and even frigid, the uncomfortable tension in the room was caused by the fact that he hadn't laughed or made jokes, and you found yourself wondering continually what was bothering him so much.

‍ ‍ "come on," emma slouched, chin resting at her knees. "why do you look so worked up today? how's the date yesterday? did something happened?"

‍ ‍ you shifted your gaze up at the ring where draken and mitsuya were training, letting out a heavy sigh before your cheeks negan to flame up in embarrassment whilst trying to tuck your fingers into your sleeves. you observed as the maneuvered around one another, trading strikes and jabs as you analyzed their fighting styles. although you'd have to acknowledge that mitsuya had improved at escaping draken's attacks as he had grown stronger in recent years due to starting to exercise more, both of them were still rather powerful. "well, if nothing is impossible, is it possible for something to be possible?"

‍ ‍ "makes sense but come on, stop torturing my brain."

‍ ‍ "yeah, pah-chin's got none ever since he was born."
