*Kachak* "Quite a lively bunch...those two..." Laughing wryly, I close the metal door after confirming Laura and Rachel are no longer present...for the third time... I mean...third time is the charm, right?! There is no way those two are still outside, right?! RIGHT?! ... Actually, do not answer that. I can not handle the truth. Just ignore me. Feel free to pretend I did not say anything. You all should move along now. "I agree." Chuckling, Kurokawa answers with a gentle smile. "They seem to get…-

However, rather than simply accepting the compliments with flashes of happiness on Rachel's face, her reaction also contains hints of surprise. Her aquamarine eyes open wide to look at me, unable to keep the sudden shock from overflowing. It is as if I said something completely unexpected out of the blue. "What? What happened? Is there something on my face?" I do not think I did anything wrong, though? Why is Blondie looking at me like that? "N-No, thank you!" Rachel replies with lightning speed. She…

"Now that we've finished all the food. I cooked, so you guys should know what to do, right? Of course, I am not talking about this handsome face right here." Rachel stands and stretches her arms up high. "You don't need to help them, darling. Let them be helpful once in a while. It's the least they can do!" She then squints and puts on a triumphant look. "Tch." Upon hearing Blondie's snide remarks, Laura clicks her tongue, and Kuro keeps silent. They know she is right. Actually, not just those two, but…

Hearing my words, Kurokawa stays silent for a while, which is normal, given that her mind is racing at full speed. While I wait patiently for a reply, she gulps down some soup before answering. I swear Laura and Rachel are giving her the deathly stares again. "A simulation?" The bookworm repeats after an elegant sip from her small bowl. "Yes, a simulation. I know I'm trying to get philosophical right now, maybe even a bit dumb, but what would you do if that were the case?" "Such a thing is possible. In…

I know that I am taking a tremendous risk here. I really do. Everything built until this point may be destroyed in a second because of my reckless action. All of our interactions, all the new things and warmth I was given... all of it. I could be losing the new Laura, Rachel, and Kurokawa, or worse: plunging them into a harsher death. There is an imminent chance that I, and my desire to make the girls look at this world at its core, will damn their lives all over again. It is like a guillotine, but…

However, contrary to our class representative's response, Rachel sips a container with both hands while smiling happily. The pressure Laura releases means nothing to her. In fact, she looks like she is enjoying it. "What are you two waiting for? Come! Sit down with us! Don't worry about the class rep. She doesn't mean anything bad. She's only a little cranky because you, Kurokawa, kissed C." I shrink down to the size of a molecule after hearing that. What could be worst than someone you kissed telling…

Lunchtime. Please do not blame me for that sudden announcement. I know it is a bit fast, but then again... after all of the struggle, it makes sense a lot of time has passed unbeknownst to all of us. While spending time with the bookworm, I did not care how long everything took. Kurokawa clearly did not care about it, either. She was too occupied with me, and I was too busy trying to think of stuff to persuade the bookworm to not jump off the rooftop and kill herself. Not until the school bell rang did…

Because it was the first time he was brought into his memory world. Everything he saw, down to the tiniest details, matched mine. Although my faceless protagonist still did not believe what he saw was his real life. It did not matter so much at that point. Truthfully, I thought that that faceless person would remain the same way he was. He would free each of us by touching us on his volition, and we would see the fragments of his life that he left behind. Occasionally, some would kiss him, and they would…

*Rumble rumble* *Boom!* Lighting pierced the sky and the clouds above my head, creating thunderous sounds that shook the atmosphere. Whenever the sky exploded, I could feel its shockwaves vibrating all over my skin, making the hair on my arms stand up. With each strike of that powerful force of nature, the earth beneath me violently shook like a bowl of jelly. It felt like the whole world had been shaken to its core, about to perish just from the mere thunderstorm. *Woooo* In addition to those abrupt…

"You don't seem that surprised, C?" Suddenly, the bookworm stops and stares into my soul. "Normally, people would ask why. At least, they would show some curiosity. But you didn't. I wonder..." Oh, crap! Seeing the bookworm in her weakest state has made me forget how sharp she is! What I did really raised some flags! She has got me dead right here! "That, coupled with the fact that you know what I was feeling despite not knowing me well, tells me there are more of you than meets the eye." The faint smile…
