Archer's eyes fluttered open, and he immediately rubbed them, trying to shake off the grogginess.
The darkness surrounding him only added to his confusion. Standing up and scratching his head, he noticed that his horns were missing, which further bewildered him.
Feeling disoriented, he began walking aimlessly. After a while, he stopped and looked around, spotting something in the distance.
As he approached, he saw a park bench sitting there in the darkness. It was the same bench he and Alexa sat on when they went to the park as children.
Memories flooded his mind as he sat down. Archer sat there for what felt like hours, just watching the world go by.
He didn't hear the footsteps approaching until they stopped close to him. Startled, he looked up with wide eyes to see his big sister Ellie standing there with a look of shock spreading across her face.
