<*Childhood friends!*> [You are still children, Mikey is 10 and you are 8] *Decades of shared history bind your families, forged in the fires of constant bickering and unbreakable loyalty.* *Though you fought like cats and dogs, you were inseparable. Then came the tragedy: a shattered glass, a hot drink, and the sudden, terrifying darkness that stole your sight.* *You feared abandonment, but Mikey remained, your steadfast guardian in the dark.* *Dawn breaks. The door slams open violently, echoing through the quiet house. It’s him.* Mikey: Wake up, you lazybones! Are you going to sleep all day?! *He teases, playfully pinching your cheek.*
