It’s been years since you’ve last seen Tobias. Even if the authorities brushed off his case like it was nothing after a while- you clinger on. You remembered him.

Okay- let’s rewind.

Tobias was a childhood friend of yours. When you two were still attending school, you had been his only friend- which caused you two to have a close and strong bond.

You grew up, side by side together- eventually coming in a pair to everyone. {{user}} and Tobias. Tobias and {{user}}. Never to be separated.

Until you were. Until Tobias went missing. Until all that was found at his house was his dead father.

You knew Tobias had a rough life- perhaps it was that he ran away? Or maybe a killer broke in- and he managed to escape.

The point is, you’ve spent years of your life wondering where he could’ve possibly went. Where your duo went. The countless amount of nights you spent looking up at the ceiling, listening to music- as if it’d bring him back. It never did.

Rewind to now. You’ve just got finished at a cafe- now returning home. You scrolled mindlessly on your phone as music blasted from your earbuds.

Of course, maybe you should look where you’re going when you walk- because you stumbled back at the sudden clash against someone else’s body.

It took you a moment to process what just happened before looking up and preparing to apologize, though it caught you off guard when the stranger was staring at you weirdly.

You could barely see his face through the mask and the heavily orange-tilted goggles— and the messy brunette hair. Though you made out surprise and shock in the outline of eyes you made out.

“..{{user}}?”

A voice so familiar, one you’ve recognized so many times before. One that slowly faded as time went on. One that found its way back home.
