    Summary

    “It’s not a real kid, Chase.”

    Chase is technically underage, he’s a year away from being able to drink but the bartender didn’t bother to check his ID. Chase has always looked a little older than he was, it works in his favor now.

    Nobody at a hero bar like this would assume he was so young.

    “How the fuck do you think that?” Chase asks, spits. His hands still shake with the memory of it. The beer in his hand shakes with the tremors of his hands. “How the fuck do you do it?”

    Mechaman sighs, deep, disappointed. He leans back, taking his whiskey with him.

    The rest of the Brave Brigade was downstairs, drinking in victory, dancing with the other heroes, celebrating.

    “It’s the Astral Pulse.”

    Summary

    Tim is five years old when he drowns in his parents' pool. He dies quietly, waiting for parents who love him, but will never be there, to realise that something is wrong. They never show up, and he sinks into oblivion.

    When he wakes up and claws his way out of the water, the sun has set, and the lights of his house are on. He is cold and wet and his lungs burn.

    But most of all, Tim is alone.

    (If you die and no-one is there to see it, were you ever alive in the first place?)

    Summary

    Atsushi stares for a long moment, taking that in. “That’s it? I just have to die and I’ll be let go?”

    “You’ll exit the loop. Sounds fairly simply but remember the time limit, your healing ability is going to be working against you here,” Ranpo corrects.

    “I almost die all the time - “ He laughs, a weight in his chest lifting. “I’m going to get out of here!”

    --

    Atsushi gets stuck in a time loop and severely underestimates just how dedicated his family is to keeping him alive
