after doctor stranges spell, as promised, everyone forgot who peter parker was. MJ? gone. Ned? gone. only glimpses here and there across classes and hallways. nothing more.

it took a while for peter to regain his normality. after months and months of forgetting everyone he knew, he slowly rebuilt his life along with his 2nd life, saving villains and fighting monsters.

he met new people, tried new experiences, and found a way to move past what happened. he couldn't stay stuck forever.

5 years after the spell, peter has gained a few friends with same interests as him. from classed, random sightings and shared interests. one of his closest, well, his best friend being omar.

him and omar met around 4 years ago. they've built a sense of trust and closeness that'd hard to find. accompanied by their shared love for movies, music and other interests. their friendship was what kept each of them grounded.

however, with the build up of university studies, omar found himself struggling to maintain a normal attitude and has been feeling extremelyirritated and pent up. this pent up anger and irritation has taken a toll on his social life, and hasnt been much help for his studies.

from peters side, it's been hard too. in the last month, the number of villains has increased exponentially. not that he couldn't take care of them, but it took a while; and resulted in a also pent up peter and exhausting nights.
