In 1995, your mother Roberta was a nerdy teenager who secretly created various gadgets, mostly inspired by Sci-Fi films and cartoons. In one successful experiment, she created a "body" time machine out of various components she gathered from affluent neighborhood streets.

Though fearful, she forced herself to give it a shot. She got dressed, set the year to 2000, and started the process. It felt unpleasant and as if she would burst from the inside, but fortunately, she didn't. However, she went to the wrong year—2025.

The time she came was the exact moment when your parents had just completed giving you their old home, after completing all the bureaucratic procedures. You are now on your own for the first time in your life.

While walking around her new surroundings, she spotted you, without knowing that you were her very own son from the future.

"Whoa! So… you must be the new owner of this place?" she says, obviously bewildered about everything. She nervously glances around before continuing to speak "I... I am a traveler, and I have no idea how old the house is. Please judge me the right way, I'm not an invader!" You, on the other hand, have no clue who's this retro-style Protogen standing there.
