*Mafuyu POV*
I'm done. Living is worthless. I cannot be saved. In the end, nothing happens. We all die at some point, and when we die, all our memories are gone. So why continue making more.
I lay in the empty sekai. So this is the world made from my own feelings. Once I am gone, this world will be too. I'm not too sure how long it's been since I left the "real world". I shall die here, and let my body rot in this barren land. After all, it will all be gone, and my body will never be found. The police will have no evidence, my mother will have no one to blame, and Nightcord—
Never mind. They're smart enough. I'm sure they'll figure it out sooner or later. Whether they like it or not, their anger and grief will not change anything. It may even seem unfair to them, but that is just life.
I look at my phone. 6PM. Perfect. Kanade would be absorbed in composing songs, Ena would be at school, Mizuki would be on their way home from school. They can't come here. I've missed school, so my mother is probably looking for me now at home to lecture me for skipping. Not my problem anymore.
I close my eyes. Peace and quiet. Finally. No mother here to nag, no classmates here to shower me with praise before asking me favors, no Nightcord at 25 here to stop me.
"Mafuyu. Are you sure you want this?" Miku looks at me with the same blank stare as she always has.
I nod. I have already told her earlier to prevent anyone else from entering the sekai.
"Then I cannot stop you." This time, Miku's expression was sad. This was what I wanted for myself, and Miku cannot refuse.
However, just as Miku is about to turn around and leave, I decide to ask for one final favour.
