They ran faster and faster, not caring about how tired their legs were getting.

"We're getting close to a town or something! I can see buildings!" Norman yelled.

They ran there, quicker than ever.

"I.... think... mom.... won't.... find.... us...." Ray said in between breaths.

Emma giggled a bit "You're gonna jinx it Ray"

He rolled his eyes "I don't care anymore, I need to rest..." he fell to the ground.

"So, what are we gonna do now? Where are we gonna go?" Norman asked.

"We'll need to split up"

They both looked at Ray, their eyes widening.

"But-"

"It's the only way we'll be safe! She'll expect us all to be in the same place! If we split up then it'll be harder to find us all!" he exclaimed.

Norman took a deep breath "Alright... where are you planning to go?"

"Tokyo" he answered right away.

"It's a big place, lots of people. It would be hard to find me there"

Norman nodded, sighing. Then, they heard sniffling.

They turned their heads and say Emma, who had tears running down her face.

"Emma-"

"I-I don't want to leave you guys!" she sobbed.

The two boys smiled sadly and hugged her.

"It's alright, maybe one day we'll meet again...."

Emma cried harder "B-But I w-wanted to be w-with you g-guys forever!"

"We have to be safe, I'm sorry Emma..."

Ray pulled away from the hugs and got his stuff "I-I'm gonna go now... see you guys again soon hopefully"

"R-Ray!"

The black haired male ruffled her hair "Bye Emma. I hope I see you again one day"

"Norman" he faced the other male "Be safe. You too Emma. I'll miss you..."

"Ray! P-Please don't g-go!"

He waved goodbye and walked away, starting his journey to Tokyo.

"RAY!"

But it was too late, he was too far away to hear the sobbing and pleading of Emma.

"Emma..." Norman faced her, holding both of her hands.

She looked back at him "Norman, p-please...."

"One day, I'll find you again. I promise...." he smiled sweetly at her, trying his best not to cry.

"M-Make sure to change your name, age, anything you can, okay? T-Try not to let her find you"

Emma sobbed "N-No, N-Norman... d-don't go..."

"I believe in you E-Emma, good luck" he hugged her again.

Norman grabbed his belongings and sent a smile to Emma before leaving.

And Emma was there, without her best friends, sobbing and crying.

Hoping they'll see each other again one day.

One day....
