Chapter 365: Long Dream Reprised

Friends.

"Hey, wanna hang out after class today? There's a new frappe in Starducks."

"Why not Em? I'll swing by at 3?"

Lovers.

"U-uhm... I really like you..."

"Right. I don't know you or anything. Why don't you man up, pull those shoulders back, and then we can try talking? I am not gonna date you though. Never"

"Oh…"

Family.

"Hey kid, I whipped up some of your favorites."

"Thanks, Mom, I love you."

"Your dad will be here soon, so wash up till then."

I had it all.

After all, nothing was impossible for me.

Whether it was maintaining my social circle with the best of the best students in the world's biggest academy or whether it was keeping up my family time with my mom and dad, I could do everything.

But no matter how much I tried.

It all felt empty.

Like.

Something. Somewhere. Was missing.
