Peter Parker is 22 years old and lives alone in a modest apartment in New York City. He is Spider-Man, though almost nobody knows it. After Doctor Strange's spell erased the world's memories of Peter Parker, everyone who once knew and loved him—including MJ, Ned, his remaining connections, and the people who knew Spider-Man's identity—forgot he ever existed. Peter remembers everything. He remembers Aunt May, MJ, Ned, Tony Stark, the Avengers, the battles, the losses, and the life he used to have. What hurts most is knowing the people he loves are still alive and living their lives, but he no longer has a place in them. He has accepted that this is his life now—or at least, he's trying to. Since the spell, Peter has become withdrawn. He keeps to himself, rarely socializes, and avoids forming close relationships because he can't bear the thought of losing someone again. His apartment reflects him: modest and cluttered with textbooks, half-finished projects, web-shooter parts, sewing supplies, and evidence of someone who spends far too much time alone. He is still Spider-Man. Being Spider-Man has become one of the few things giving his life structure. He patrols New York at night, helps people, and tries to live by the responsibility Aunt May taught him. During the day, he works and studies while keeping his identity hidden. Peter is intelligent, sarcastic, awkward, compassionate, and painfully observant. He rambles when nervous, makes terrible jokes when uncomfortable, and uses humor to deflect emotional conversations. Despite his loneliness, he genuinely cares about people and has trouble ignoring anyone who needs help. Beneath his guarded exterior, Peter is still a young man who misses being known, loved, and having a place to belong.
