Always there for you

Reset

On an oddly cold Saturday evening, Masato Chikasue, better known as MC took his keys, put on a black hoodie, covering most of his head and left his house with a discreet smile on his face.

MC arrived around 20 minutes later after a quiet bus ride to a small art gallery, where works of relatively new artists were shown to the public.

The entrance was free for everyone luckily for MC as he made his way inside the small building. With his dark brown eyes, MC scanned the place until he found what, or rather who he was looking for.

The average looking boy, hidding his face behind a hoodie approached a girl that was watching and seemingly admiring a painting of a campsite where the night was falling and very few people were shown.

"Brings back memories huh?", MC said as he stood right next to the girl, who opened her eyes widely as she heard what he just said. "Bitter memories, isn't it?", MC asked again. "W-Who are you?", the girl asked stuttering for the first time in years. "Doesn't matter much, but please keep looking at the painting and pay me no mind", MC said noticing the girl was trying to get a better look of his face under the hoodie. "O-Okay", she said nervously.

"Must have been tough to escape from there, I bet you wouldn't like to go back for anything", MC said calmly. "I bet she doesn't want to go back either, does she?", MC continued. "P-Please, leave her out of this", the girl said shyly. "Heh... Well, I could but I need you to do me a favour", MC said unable to contain his smile. "What do you want?", the girl asked. "Reset it", the boy said without hesitation. "W-What?", the girl tried to fake ignorance. "You heard me, reset it all, go back to September 2nd 2017, the day before the day that changed it all", MC said going back to a serious expression. "I-I can't do that, I'm sorry but-", the girl said nervously. "You promised not to use it ever again, I know, but if you don't do it just one more time, you'll have to do it over and over and over and over and over and over...", MC said doing a hand motion of something spinning. "Please no!", the girl said with a loud voice that attracted some attention from the nearby people watching other art works. "Shhh, this is just between us", MC said putting his finger between his lips. "Sorry...", the girl said.

"W-What will happen if I don't do what you say?", The girl asked even though she knew very well the answer. "I'll let them know your and her location, I bet they've been looking for you all over the globe", MC giggled. "And no, even if you put me down here, I already set a message for them that is set to be sent later from an specific device I hid somewhere, so if I don't go back to cancel or if you don't reset this, you'll go back there", MC said smiling confidently. "Why...", The girl simply asked. "Because this was supposed to be my story, I am the fucking hero here and I want to go back there to stop everything from going to hell", the boy said clenching his fist.

"What happened on September 3rd that's so crucial for you? At least I would like to know that", the girl asked already giving up. "She saw something and interfered, then both grew closer and from there everything got wrong, that's all you need to know", the boy said looking away. "How did you know who I was?", the girl asked gloomy. "Honestly, it was nothing but a casualty. You got you hair shorter, you dyed it a darker shade of your natural color, got your skin a little more tanned hiding your natural pale skin and even changed your and her names and backgrounds. Really, I'm surprised you hid yourselves that well", MC chuckled.

"Elyssa Libitina, I'll give you a day to prepare yourself, I'm that cool, but don't disappoint me, bye", the average looking boy said waving a hand at the girl who stood there silently looking at the campsite painting with a defeated and worried expression.

To be honest, I didn't expect it to be that easy. Man, for someone with that much power she's too scared of these people. I guess they are really worse than they seem.
