Morning came quietly, Rei opened his eyes.
Nothing felt different.
Same room, same ceiling, same silence..
He sat up slowly.
His phone was on the desk, it's screen black.
He stared at it for a second... then looked away.
"...weird dream."
He got dressed and left.
The street was crowded.
Students, cars, conversations.
Rei walked without thinking.
A boy rushed past him, shoulder brushing lightly.
Not even enough to notice.
Rei kept walking.
Behind him—
The boy tripped.
His books scattered across the pavement.
"Shit—!"
People looked. Someone laughed.
Rei didn't notice.
At the crosswalk, Rei stopped.
Red light.
A woman stood beside him, holding coffee.
Rei shifted slightly.
Their sleeves brushed.
The light turned green.
They stepped forward.
Two seconds later—
She dropped the cup.
Hot coffee spilled across her hand.
"Ah—!"
She flinched, nearly stumbling.
Rei kept walking.
He frowned slightly.
Something felt... off.
At school, he entered the classroom.
Sat down, and the chair in front of him snapped.
The student fell backwards.
"What the—?!"
Laughter erupted.
Rei blinked.
He hadn't touched anything.
Silence slowly returned.
Rei stared at his desk.
Pens rolled slightly.
One fell.
He didn't pick it up.
For the first time...
He didn't feel like it was happening to him.
He looked up.
Across the room, two students argued.
"Bro you pushed me."
"I didn't even touch you."
"You literally—"
One slipped mid-sentence.
Hit the desk.
Hard.
Everyone turned.
Rei watched quietly...
Then—
He slowly looked at his hand.
Nothing.
Just his hand.
But something felt different.
The small failures...
weren't following him anymore.
They were happening around him.
Rei lowered his gaze.
"i'm.. confused."
No fear.
No surprise.
Just quiet confusion.
Someone behind him dropped their phone.
The screen cracked instantly.
"ARE YOU SERIOUS!?"
Rei closed his eyes.
The classroom noise blurred.
And for a moment—
everything felt... aligned.
His bad luck...
had moved.
