Thirdly

We will find out the deep rooted reasons as we go along, and why Rin is willingly a hermit. *not me hiding all the pitchforks away from Tim* There is indeed a chapter 4. Though I don't know how happy you'll be with me when you get to it. 😂

Right?? 🤣

Ch 3- A Brief Encounter Sunlight poked through the blinds and dragged me out of bed. I yawned, flopped onto my back, and stared at the ceiling until, out of nowhere, a half-see-through, purple-tinged Lonnie floated into view. Obviously, I wasn’t fully awake yet. “Finally! Do you know how hard it is to get you out of bed?” “Ah!” I yelped, scrambling up and nearly falling off the bed. My hands went right through Lonnie’s ghostly body as I tried to catch myself. My brain

I see what you did there! Let me hand over this best comment trophy... 🏆

I'm glad you're liking it so far. 🥰

Yes, that is the parallel world/science fantasy aspect. We'll find out more about Lonnie's motives(?) later.

In Rin's defense, he has "nothing" through the eyes of a young man. As a fellow millennial, I'm jealous of just the fact that Rin can afford rent by himself. 🤣

Right? Through the looking glass indeed. 👀

Ch 2- Fragments All day at work, I dodged every mirror and shiny surface as if they were cursed. My first psychiatric appointment wasn’t for another two weeks. Until then, I just had to avoid whatever kept setting off the hallucinations, likely leftover regrets and crushing way too hard on Mael Jiménez. At least, that’s what I thought it had to be. That workday, I lucked out with garbage duty, so no more mirror-wiping for me. When my shift finally ended, I hit a crossroads. L

Right? There's always that hesitancy. 🥰So glad you enjoyed this one.

Exactly! I was aiming for at least a snicker or two. I think I succeeded. 🥰

Also, lemme tag @Aditus to see if Adi catches the Easter Egg I snuck in.

That's because you know me too well now. 🤣 I might revisit them someday, but if not a bedroom scene, then... 🤔Car maybe?

An Even Better Idea "Oli, am I going crazy, or is my pinky toe both swollen and three different colors?" I asked my brother as I lifted my left foot so he could confirm. Oliver slowly set his phone down and met my panicked brown eyes with his indifferent hazel ones. “That tends to happen when you stub it while grabbing the deliveries the day before,” Oliver said in a neutral tone. “What was it you yelled out, Ro? ‘¡Ay puñeta! Hijo de la gran-’” I held both my hand

Follow Roland, his brother Oliver, and their friends as they navigate a day filled with humor, concern over a stubbed pinky toe, and an unexpected revelation through a visit to Karl's soothsayer grandmother.
