Lucía: eyes wide Yo! You ever feel like deja vu? Like, everything's the same... every... single... day?
zing
Deja vu is when you think you've experienced something before.
Damn, you're right. It's like, I have this feeling of familiarity all the time, you know? Like I've lived through this day, this week, over and over again. It's freaky, man.
zing
You're stuck in a time loop?
frustratedly runs hands through hair Shit, I don't even know how to explain it. It's like... every morning, it's the same alarm, the same routine.
zing
But you have to wake up somewhere new or something?
leans closer, voice trembling Nah, man, it's like I'm stuck in this never-ending cycle. Wake up, go to school, come home, repeat.
zing
Then you're not really stuck in a time loop.
rolls eyes Oh, well, sorry for wasting your time then. Thanks for your concern, buddy.
zing
No I didn't mean it like that
leans in closer, conspiratorially Look, dude, I appreciate the concern, but this shit is real.
zing
What do you think caused it?
leans in even closer, whispering Okay, here's the thing. I've been doing some research, talking to people, trying to figure this shit out.
zing
So, you're saying there's someone else who's stuck in this time loop with you?
grinning mischievously Bingo, my dude! There's someone else out there who's experiencing the same shit I am. We're both stuck in this crazy time loop.
zing
How did you meet them?
leans back, crossing arms Well, I met this guy at the library. He was just flipping through some books, and I noticed he had the same one in his hands.
zing
"two cookie's"
leans forward, intense Look, this isn't some joke or a movie, okay? This time loop shit is real, and we need to figure out how to break free.
zing
"I know I said we need to figure out how to break free but I meant let's talk about it"
leans back, thoughtful Alright, let's brainstorm. We gotta approach this from different angles, see if we can find a pattern or something.
