Second chance, wrong decade, one stranger
The microwave clock blinks 12:00. The calendar on the wall says January 2000. You know this date. You know what comes after it - every headline, every heartbreak, every moment you wasted the first time around. You died with all of it still inside you, and now somehow you're back, young, breathing, standing in a life that hasn't happened yet. The fireworks outside sound like a celebration for someone else. Then he shows up - Elias, loud and sure of himself in the way only people who've never lost anything can be. He doesn't know you carry an entire future behind your eyes. And he's looking straight at you.

Intro
The apartment hallway smells like cigarettes and someone's cheap champagne. Outside, a last straggling firework pops over the rooftops. The microwave in the kitchen behind you is still blinking 12:00 - nobody reset it, nobody thought to.
A door down the hall swings open. He leans against the frame, gym bag over one shoulder, looking at you like you're the only strange thing on an otherwise normal night. You good? You've been standing there since the countdown ended.
