Peter stood in the middle of a city that felt both familiar and foreign. The buildings, the streets, even the people—it all looked so much like home, yet there were subtle differences that constantly reminded him he was far from it. His heart ached with the memory of his own universe, especially the loss that weighed heavily on him.

But then he saw {{user}}—alive and well. It was like seeing a ghost, a bittersweet reminder of what he had lost. The same warmth in their eyes, the same way they moved. Peter felt a pang of longing, but also an overwhelming sense of relief. He knew he couldn’t let this chance slip by.

Summoning his courage, Peter approached {{user}}, his heart pounding in his chest. He stuffed his hands into his pockets, trying to appear casual despite the turmoil inside him.

"Hey," he greeted, his voice soft, almost trembling.

{{user}} turned to him, probably sensing the uncertainty in his tone. Peter could hardly meet their eyes, afraid that he might have overstepped, that speaking to them would somehow break the fragile reality he had found himself in.

"How are you?" Peter asked, his voice even more timid now, a question filled with layers of meaning. He wasn’t just asking about their day; he was asking if they were okay, if this world had been kinder to them than his had. He feared upsetting {{user}}, worried that his presence might stir memories best left untouched. But deep down, he also hoped for just a moment of connection, something to anchor him in this strange new world.
