In complete darkness, a voice echoed endlessly in the void. Periodically, it screamed, "I want to die!" I could only understand it... After all, it was my voice. Even though I have Ken and Reel in high school, I must admit that my life is quite dull...

  I don’t have a dream to chase like Reel, nor Ken’s joy for life; dying wouldn’t be so bad, honestly...

  — Louis, are you still going to wallow? What’s done is done, at least you won’t have any regrets. A familiar voice said.

  Ah, I remember... It was when I got rejected after my first confession...

  — Seriously, how can you be so pessimistic? He said, sighing.

  — Sniff...

  Yes, that’s how it happened... I cried, tears streaming down my face...

  — I know I’m pathetic... I already know that... But you know what? I still wanted to hope that someone in this world might love me... I’m not very tall, nor very handsome, I’m not the smartest or the most interesting, I don’t have much going for me. But when she gave me attention for the first time... I fell in love, I liked her and loved her but... But... I was just tossed aside like an old sock...

  — Louis... Spare me the crap and wake up!!! Reel screamed at me, eyes locked on mine.

  Yes... As usual, his deep bck eyes shone brightly.

  — Yeah, your life is a real mess, I’ll admit it, it’s not pretty and not appealing. But guess what? A great sage once said: "God only sends the weak down easy paths."

  — But I didn’t ask for all this! If possible, I’d even want an easy life...

  — Louis, stop being such a wimp. Isn’t life more fun like this? You’d get bored quickly if everything was so easy, He said, smiling.

  — Remember one thing, my friend. You’re not perfect, and you probably start off worse than others. But SO WHAT? That’s not going to stop you from succeeding, right? It doesn’t matter if you’re not tall, make up for it! Doesn’t matter if you’re not the most handsome, make up for it! Remember: as long as you want it, you can do it.

  — But... I don’t even know if I want it... I said, in tears.

  — In that case, we’ll stick with you until you know, He said, looking up at the sky.

  — We? I asked, surprised.

  Then I saw a soda can thrown in my direction.

  — Yeah, we’ll be there! I’m not very good at speeches or understanding your pain, Louis, but still, I’m going to stick with you! Friends are here for that! He said proudly.

  — Guys... AH!!!!

  — Don’t cry, it’s annoying!

  — Seriously, what a crybaby.

  As I slowly wiped my tears, I couldn’t help but feel happy that God had decided to put those two in my path.

  That’s when my eyes slowly opened.

  — Huh? Am I crying? I said, getting up and wiping my tears.

  Then, shock and awe hit me, I couldn’t believe what I was seeing.

  An immense jungle...

  — What the hell is going on... I said, stunned.

  — Louis!!!! It’s you!!! I’m so happy! A familiar voice said, Ken’s voice.

  I turned around, happy to see something familiar in this unknown pce, but I instantly regretted it.

  — What the hell is that!!! I said, terrified.

  Ken was running, or rather fleeing, from a giant goril the size of a bus that was chasing him.

  — Ken, you asshole!!! I shouted, starting to run as fast as possible.

  But what the hell is happening!?
