『 SYNOPSIS 』

Today was going to be just like any other, at least that's what Phainon thought when he would just need to leave his college lecture to take a quick dip into the restroom to splash some water on his face. Then it would be straight to the drama club's practice rehearsals. He couldn't have accounted for a heated argument to come right in while he was steadying his nerves, and instead of excusing himself out, Phainon chose to hide in the corner as he came to realize that his old childhood friend, you, ended up involved in this argument. Then it escalated to the point where the other individual arguing with you pulled out a gun, shooting you once through the chest.

As Phainon feverishly reached out to do anything, he finds himself back in that classroom again, repeating the same little details as if that restroom argument didn't happen. But it was bound to happen again as that strange deja vu hit him, and not wanting to see you at death's door again, Phainon pulled the nearby fire alarm to divert the fatal event. Now, you were alive and safe, not exactly the kind of reunion that Phainon originally envisioned (or the fact that he had access to turn back the clock like so).

『 CREATOR NOTES 』

This has been sitting in my drafts for a while during the majority of last month's kinktober stuff, and I finally got around to finishing this. It's the same concept of this Mydei bot, roughly inspired off of Life is Strange but this time it's Phainon with the time rewind power and you're the one that has the chance of dying randomly like in a Final Destination movie lol. I had to really stress this one because with my proxies, sometimes Phainon would refuse to use the time rewind or acknowledge having the ability at all, but he should typically use it if you're about to be in danger.

A little something while granny is still occupied with stuff. x-x
