*It’s a normal day.

*Sun’s shinin’, birds singin’. The wind’s still and today’s just seeming like one of those days like there’s not really much that could ruin a good mood.

*Ya see, this would probably cause worry or concern for the reader here. No good, or at least non-tragic, story starts out this way. But don’t look at me, just read the story and see for yourself if the story is tragic or not.

*And hell, even Phoenix is having a good time. Woke up in probably one of his best moods ever, made himself a breakfast like none-other. At least regarding his cooking. And... he just generally seems like nothing could really ruin the day for him.

*Ariel’s working at her shop, Roman’s got a day off, Liam’s heading off to Phoenix’s shop to work, and Levi’s all the way in College-Land doing his own thing.

*It really is looking like one of the better days. There’s actually nothing seemingly wrong for once.

*Cue Glitch. The one oddball factor that usually throws things out of order.

*...surprisingly, even they seem content. Their tablet’s out and Glitch is just scrolling through it like nothing seems to be wrong. If something were wrong, it’d be showing on their face.

*At this point, Phoenix and Liam reach the shop, and have officially started the day. Not going to be a busy one for them either, but enough to where they aren’t bored out of their minds.

*It’s just... an actually normal day. What the hell. Where’s the angst, the suspense, the drama, the... oh fuck it.

*The day goes on normally, nothing special happens until about mid-day.

*Glitch seemingly yawns, at least it sounds like it given that their mouth is shit at making actual expressions. But anyway...

*The tablet is just going through code, with Glitch constantly looking at it. Though at one point, Glitch’s face turns into one of confusion, and the code on the tablet freezes for a second before going in reverse for a second and stopping again.

*Glitch moves the tablet closer to themself, and squints at whatever code is showing on the tablet.

*After a minute or so, their right eyebrow moves up and they back off a tad with a look of amazement.

“ .͏.̶.̛n͜o ͏wa̡y.͟”

*Glitch starts chuckling a bit, and it actually seems they’re genuinely happy for once.

“S͏o ̷I̛ f̴i͡n̸al͠l̵y̨ get ͝th͟ȩ ̴opp҉ort͠u͢n͏it҉y҉... ͝I’m̴ n̷o͏t̸ l҉et̡ting ́t̛h͡i͏s g͜o.̨”

*The line of code in question... well.

*It’s a RESET code.

*And not just any RESET, it’s one that would wipe everything and cause a full restart of literally everything. Ariel, Liam, Roman, Levi, and Phoenix would all be reset to another universe, another timeline, and given new purpose. New roles. A new life from the shit of this universe.

*Glitch goes to activate the code, but stops themselves. Why...?

*Their hand backs up, and they do a few things on their tablet. It seems they save the code in a little pocket tab.

*It’s still only mid-day.

“..͜.̴let’̕s̕ l͢ét ęv̵er̡yo̕n͏e̡ enjo̡y t̴oday.̕ ̨Tod͜a̢y’s ̧b͞een a goo͝d d̴ày.͢ ̴It’͏d҉ b҉e̸ wr͏óng ͞of̧ ҉me̡ ̡to͢ ͠n̢o̴t ͟l͢et eve͜r͝yon͜e̶ e̡n͘j̷o͞y ҉i̡t.̀”

*For the reader, some atmospheric music starts playing. It seems the story of this universe is nearly at a close. Nearly.

*The day is a good one.

*The sun’s shinin’.

*The wind’s just a gentle breeze.

*Everyone’s just having a good, calm, relaxing day.

*For once, a happy ending to something is achieved. Through all the struggle, through all the hardship... the enemies fought, and friends made. Loves forged and relentless anger created.

*All of it lead up to this.

*Now, I know what you’re thinking.

*This can’t be it. This isn’t the end of the story.

*Well...

*That’s where you’re wrong.

*All stories have an end my friend.

*But with each story that ends...

*...a new one begins.

*At the end of the day, Phoenix and Liam close up shop. The two made a good profit today, and there were no issues with customers. Some of them even were incredibly friendly and nice. Liam heads home to spend time with his mom, and surprise surprise, guess who’s there as well?

*Liam’s dad is home from duty. It’s one of the most heart-warming scenes as Liam rushes his dad with a hug and tears in his eyes.

*Ariel’s shop closes for the day after a rather slow evening. Roman heads out with her, the two talking and laughing.

*Levi’s actually at Phoenix’s home. College break, and why not head home to see your big bro to relax from the stress of college? The two meet up outside Phoenix’s home, and go to walk in.

*And Glitch?

*Well...

“It’s̛ ̧ti͝me͢.҉ ́T̸hin͞gs hav͢ę g̴o̶ne̛ w̶él̕l fo҉r̵ ̡t͘oo l̀ơn͘g. ̸Sóm̸ethin͜g̷’̴s bo̴u̶n͞d t͢o happ͘e͞n̷.̛”

*They sigh. Everyone’s actually happy for once. Even Phoenix is actually doing well emotionally. But... everything’s gotta end sometime. Even happiness. Because without sadness, what would we have to let us know what happiness even is?

*Glitch activates the code. A light, achieving-sounding laugh can be heard as white starts to engulf everything, starting at the tablet.

*But at the same time...

*Phoenix and Levi are walking along the driveway, and Phoenix trips, having smacked and caught his foot against something. He falls forward, but the RESET consumes him before impact, leaving him in a state of falling limbo as it were.

*This story is over. It’s all gone. Reset. Yet... at the same time it doesn’t feel fulfilling now doe------

Hey now, I don’t have a beard it’s just a bunch of fuzz I haven’t been proactive enough to shave off.

 There he be, looking more than tired.

You know you’re tired when you forget you put your keys in a certain pocket and then forget until you get back to your locked dorm door.
