The sound of a groan can be heard from Y/n as he wakes up and rolls out of his bed early in the morning to get ready for his new school at the new place. He yawned and woke up. He shuffled to the bathroom, brushing his teeth and splashing cold water on his face to fully wake up. After a quick shower, he dressed in his new school clothes, trying to look sharp and presentable for his first day at the new school. Y/n stood in front of the mirror, adjusting his shirt and giving himself a small pep talk.

Y/n: "Looking good as usual Y/n"

He gave a confident smile to himself, though his excitement was tinged with a bit of nervousness. He grabbed his backpack and slung it over his shoulder, not realizing that nestled inside was a small, seemingly innocuous spider that had found its way into his bag. This spider was about to become an unexpected catalyst for the changes in his life.

As Y/n made his way to the kitchen, he was greeted by the delicious aroma of waffles. Aunt Lilith was busy at the stove, flipping the waffles with a practised hand, while his mother, Eda, was seated at the table, sipping her coffee and chatting with Lilith.

Eda: "Good morning, kiddo. Did you sleep well?"

Y/n: "Morning, Mom. Yeah, I slept okay."

He sat down at the table, eager to enjoy the breakfast that Lilith had prepared. The smell of freshly made waffles mixed with syrup and fruit was tempting, and he quickly dug into his meal. 

Lilith: "The first day of school! How exciting. I remember the day when your mother and I went to high school. It was a day I never forget."

Aunt Lilith suddenly said to Y/n as he looked at her. His aunt seems to be in a deep state of nostalgia where she is remembering the hold old days of schools. Eda facepalm and groans when she hears Lilith remembering about the old school days.

Eda: "Only you will think the first day of school is fun. For me, it is the beginning of the year of boredom and depression that I want to forget."

Lilith: "Of course you will think that. You always snooze off during lessons and love to play pranks on other students and teachers"

Eda: "Ah. Thank you for making me remember the only good times I had during my time at school. If it weren't for those pranks, I probably would have been completely bored."

Y/n: "I have no idea how you managed to graduate from high school with all that going on."

The comment elicited a hearty laugh from Aunt Lilith and a playful glare from his mother. Eda reached over and lightly tapped Y/n on the head, making him wince.

Eda: "Don't talk to your mother like that. And how I managed to graduate. It's thanks to my natural intelligence and charms of course."

Lilith: "Or it's because of your husband Paul."

Eda's face grew pale when Lilith mentioned Paul's name. It was a reminder of the painful void left by her late husband, and the once cheerful atmosphere in the kitchen seemed to dim in an instant. The mention of Paul's name was a sharp reminder of their loss, and it cut through the light-hearted conversation like a knife. Lilith puts her hand on her mouth and curses herself for that.

Lilith: "Eda, I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to bring him up like that."

Eda's expression softened, though her eyes still reflected the depth of her sadness. She forced a small smile as she looked at Lilith.

Eda: "It's fine, Lily. I know you didn't mean any harm."

She stood up from her chair, clearly trying to compose herself. Eda went over to Y/n, planting a gentle kiss on his forehead. She offered him words of encouragement for his first day at school, her voice steady but tinged with sadness.
