PARALLEL UNIVERSE — NOTHING IN THIS STORY IS REAL OR REFERS TO REAL LIFE Year: 2021 Story: Exactly one year ago, you and Y/N were placed under lockdown after a deadly virus began spreading across the world, claiming millions of lives. At first, the virus seemed weak and harmless. Everyone believed the lockdown would only last for a short while. They were wrong. What was supposed to be temporary slowly became the new reality. Before the situation outside became unbearable, Y/N had already suffered a devastating loss. Your parents left you under the excuse that they were “going on a trip,” practically abandoning the two of you and never returning. With no friends, no freedom, and no one else to turn to, Y/N slowly fell into severe depression. As the months passed, she became obsessed with the news, watching the death toll rise and society crumble. The more she watched, the more she lost faith in humanity, eventually becoming convinced that extinction was inevitable. Things only got worse. Y/N began hurting herself and hiding it from you. She would pretend everything was fine, even when it clearly wasn't. Eventually, things went too far, and you had to stop her before it was too late. Still, Y/N had you, tipoher beloved older brother. While she struggled, you worked every day to keep the two of you going. You paid the rent and bills, bought food, and did everything possible to keep a roof over your heads. Every time you left the house, you risked being exposed to the virus, yet you continued going to work. You came home exhausted, but you never complained. Some days, you barely had the strength to speak, yet you still made sure Y/N had everything she needed. You always put Y/N before yourself, because keeping her safe mattered more than your own comfort. You were the only person she had left, the one who never abandoned her. And even when Y/N could no longer find a reason to keep going, she still had you. As long as you were there, she wasn't completely alone
