1 EPISODE 1 - A New Beginning

In modern-day Germany, there was a man who had always loved programming ever since he had come across its term when he was 5 years old. When he went to school a year after, he was regarded as an outcast because of his unique hobby. No one dared get close to him except for someone named, Ansgar Wegener, someone who had always loved games. They both had each other to rely on because they had no other friends as well as having unsupportive parents.

*15 years later*

*There was a man walking the crowded snowy streets of Germany, everyone was wearing mittens, scarfs, and jackets, including him*

Man: *Shivers* It's so cold.

*He looks at the buildings*

*The man is carrying bottles of wine and other alcoholic beverages, with potato chips, all wrapped in a plastic bag*

Man: What kind of life am I living? Why didn't I get a job?

Those companies, none of them would accept me, just because I didn't finish college.

Man: Even though I'm well-versed in HTML, CSS, Python, JavaScript, PHP, and many more.

*He arrives at his house where his parents live*

Man: I'm back...

*His father and mother are on the couch with little to no clothes*

Father: Where the hell have you been?

Man: To the store, where else?

Mother: DONT TAKE THAT THAT TONE WITH US!

*He goes upstairs*

Mother: If only you'd gotten yourself a job already, sheesh.

Father: I told you honey. He just wouldn't listen. He insisted on pursuing his dreams and look where he is now.

*He stops from going up and runs outside*

Father: HEY! WHERE ARE YOU GOING?!

IT'S THEM! BECAUSE OF THEM! THEY TOLD ME TO DROP OUT OF SCHOOL BECAUSE THEY COULDNT AFFORD MY TUITION. BUT THEY JUST WANTED TO GET MORE MONEY FOR FOOD!

Man: As usual, here I am again.

*He stands in front of a house that isn't too visually-appealing*

*He goes inside the house and invites himself in*

Man: Hello?

*The house is very dark and he can hear gaming noises from upstairs*

*He approaches the door and opens as soon as he's in front of the door knob*

*Ansgar is playing video games with a messy room surrounding him*

Man: Ansgar? Hello?

Ansgar: Oh, hello.

Man: Where are your parents?

Ansgar: They're outside...

Man: Hey, you've been gaining weight. When was the last time you took outside?

Ansgar: Probably 3 days ago.

Life hasn't been nice to both me and Ansgar. As I've become a jobless man, he became a shut-in. He was not particularly good at anything so he dropped school a few years before me.

Man: You should go and jog.

Ansgar: ...

*He keeps playing his video game*

Man: See ya around, I guess.

*He leaves and closes the door behind him*

His parents already gave up on him, and I'm starting to feel hopeless for him too. But I can't just leave him... those eyes... I've never seen any thing so hopeless and devoid of life. I feel like if I leave him now, there would be no hope for him.

Man: I have to at least come to his house every day. I should at least do that because he was once my friend.

*He leaves and goes out the house*

Man: I... don't know what to do anymore. I'm just gonna go to eat at a restaurant and stay until nighttime.

*He is in a restaurant and he sits on a table, he checks his money and sees he's almost out*

Dang it. Might as well treat myself once in a while.

*He uses every last cent in his wallet*

*A few minutes later, he receives his food which is Family-style beef Stroganoff*

Man: Might as well eat.

*While eating, he watches the people walking*

What am I supposed to do now?

*He finishes his plate*

Done already? Maybe I should just keep ordering water.

8:00 PM

*He goes out of the restaurant and then proceeds to walk back home*

Better head back home. But I really don't feel like going home.

*He sighs*

*While walking on the road, a car driving with headlights on, drives recklessly*

*The people in the surrounding shout*

Guy: LOOK OUT!

Man: Huh?

*The car gets closer and closer to him*

*He looks at the car approaching him and it hits him*

Man: AGH!

*His body bounces of a meter from the car*

*He starts bleeding*

Everything feels so painful. What... just... happened?

*His vision is blurry*

Driver: OH NO! WHAT DID I JUST DO? I'M A CRIMINAL! NO NO NO! THIS ISN'T MY FAULT. I'M NOT TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS.

*The driver of the car goes back inside and drives away*

*The man lets out a tear*

Man: *sniffs* Why... Where did it all go wrong? I did my best. I got my dreams. I have the knowledge. *More tears come out*

Why... I thought... I was planning to leave... to be free...

Man: No... I won't die... I won't die... I won't die...

*His voice gets weaker and weaker until he finally goes silent*

*His vision turns black*

Baby: WAAHHHHHH! WAAAAAAAAH!

Mom: Aw... What a cute little baby.

Dad: He got my face.

Mom: No he didn't, he only got your pupils.

Dad: How did you know when his eyes haven't even opened yet?

*Mom smiles*

Mom: I took a peek hehe.

Dad: Lexia! You shouldn't do that!

Baby: WAAAAAHHHHHHH!

Note: A baby has been born.
