(Thinking): Yesterday felt… unreal. That moment when time was slow mooo… was it just my imagination?
Chris
Bro, you blanked out again. What’s with you? You’ve been spacing a lot since yesterday.
Nexus
Yeah… it’s nothing. Just tired, I guess.
Chris
You? Tired? Please, you usually have energy like a motorbike engine. Something’s up.
Nexus
(Thinking): He doesn’t get it… Yesterday, everything stopped. The ball froze in midair, the sound of people talking vanished. It was like the world was waiting for me to move.
Later – walking home alone.
Nexus
(Muttering): Okay, maybe I’m just going crazy… but what if it wasn’t in my head?"
suddenly, a stray dog runs into the street, a car speeding toward it.
Nexus
(Shouting): NO!!!
His body moves on instinct – and suddenly, the world slows down again. He feels like he’s sprinting through honey, but somehow, he crosses the road instantly and snatches the dog away before the car passes.
Nexus
(Panting, Holding the dog): ... What… the hell did I just do?
The driver was madly shouting from the car "Kid, you crazy?! You could’ve been hit!"
Nexus
(Ignoring him, Staring at his hands): ... That wasn’t luck. I… I moved faster than the car.
Dog wagging its tail
"woof!"
Nexus
(Smiling nervously): ...Guess I saved you. But what does this mean for me?
