(On a cool Wednesday afternoon, the four men strolled leisurely down the winding pathway of the green luscious park, sunlight filtering through the canopy in golden shafts that danced across the grass and rippled over nearby ponds. Benches dotted the landscape, occupied by couples whispering sweet nothings under the shade of ancient oaks, their giggles light and flirtatious. The air hummed with distant chatter, birdsong, and the faint splash of ducks gliding across the water—a perfect slice of urban serenity.)
(Renji's silvery-white hair flowed freely down his back and framed his face, catching the breeze like liquid moonlight, a few strands grazing his jaw. He wore a pristine white sweater adorned with intricate golden patterns, paired with black baggy jeans that draped effortlessly over crisp white sneakers, his elongated frame moving with that signature grace.)
(Damien's dreadlocks flowed freely as well, thick and rebellious, swaying with a few framing his face. He sported a black beanie pulled low, a fitted black t-shirt peeking from underneath a burgundy red zip-up hoodie left half-open for breathability, black baggy jeans cascading over wheat Timberland boots that crunched softly on the path.) "Don't you guys find it weird that we always see some of the craziest things?" (he asked, voice gravelly with amusement, hands gesturing animatedly.)
(Jiwon, walking beside him, nodded with a dimpled grin, his tousled black waves bouncing slightly. He wore a black slightly oversized hoodie over a white tee that peeked out at the collar and hem edges, gray cargo pants draping loosely over white sneakers accented with gray details, long limbs swinging casual.) "Yeah, like how we saw a pig in a cafe."
(Soren chuckled softly, his porcelain skin glowing in the dappled light, ash-blond waves artfully tousled. He was dressed in a sleek black tee hugging his torso, olive green cargo pants over dark sneakers for that rugged edge, a thin silver chain glinting around his neck with every step.) "Oh, that was a crazy time."
Flashback...
(The four men were walking down a bustling city street on a bright morning, sunlight pouring over sidewalks alive with energy—joggers pounding pavement in neon gear, professionals hustling to work with coffee cups steaming, even a few eccentrics flipping off passing cars just because, horns blaring in chaotic harmony. It was pure, unfiltered peace—a snapshot of everyday madness.)
(Soren stopped dead in front of a quaint cafe door with one-way windows tinting the interior mystery, staring intently before looking over to the other three, gesturing with a tilt of his head.) "C'mon." (They followed him inside, pushing through the chime-jingling door—and immediately the entire place was trashed: tables overturned, coffee splattering walls, chairs askew. WAS THAT A PIG?!)
(Indeed, a massive, snorting pink beast barreled through the chaos, knocking over displays as a pack of frantic men in aprons chased it, crashing into each other or slamming into walls with cartoonish thuds and yelps, pastries flying everywhere.)
"What type of Looney Tunes scenario is this?" (Jiwon blurted, eyes wide as the pig suddenly skidded to a halt, locking eyes on the four newcomers. Steam snorted from its flared nostrils like a bull gearing for charge—and it bolted straight at them, hooves skittering on tile.)
(They all turned and bolted outside in unison, slamming the door shut just as the pig rammed it, glass rattling violently.) "What the hell was that?" (Damien demanded.)
"How should we know?" (Jiwon shot back, glancing at the door like it might explode.)
(Suddenly, the window shattered—glass exploding as the pig leaped through like a furry missile, barreling down the street in a squealing frenzy. The four just watched slack-jawed in confusion. Two cafe workers jumped through the broken window after it, landing in crouches, staring at the fleeing swine. One collapsed to his knees dramatically, bellowing "NOOOOOOO!" to the heavens, while the other patted his back, holding back tears, shoulders shaking.)
(The four exchanged bewildered looks, the absurdity hanging thick. Then the sky darkened abruptly, clouds rolling in like an omen, and rain poured down in sudden sheets, drenching them instantly.)
(Damien just stared up at the storm, arms out.) "THE FUCK IS HAPPENING?!"
End of flashback.
(Back on the park path, Jiwon tilted his head thoughtfully.) "Do you think we live in a simulation?"
"Technically, in almost every scenario we are in a simulation, but in different ways," (Renji responded philosophically, golden eyes distant as his hair swayed, the group slowing their pace amid the rustling leaves.)
(The other three slowly nodded in agreement, absorbing the idea with faint smiles.)
"At least we are building dad lore," (Damien said with a smirk, clapping Renji on the shoulder as they continued walking off into the sunset, golden hues painting the horizon in fiery strokes.)
"Dad lore? What, are we going to fight superheroes next?" (Soren asked jokingly, velvet rasp laced with sarcasm, as they all chuckled—except Renji, who simply smiled serenely, eyes glinting with quiet amusement as they walked off into the sunset, silhouettes fading against the amber sky.)
