Minako entered the dorm , which was oddly quiet . Before her eyes , she saw her dorm mates . Their heads were hanging low , and their gazes were fixated on the ground . The girls were crying , and the boys were silently angry . She approached the table , and picked up a black pistol that was on it with shaky and uncertain hands . Her eyes turned to her friends , and she wept .
" is this ... is this really the only way ? " she stuttered , no one responded .
Minako ascended to Ryoji's room , and with shaky hands she opened the door . There , Ryoji was sitting on his bed , with his usual calm and sad smile . He saw the pistol in her still shaking hands , and he realized she had made her choice .
" so ... you understand ... " Ryoji nodded in satisfaction " I think that looking at the future is a great way to live , but that doesn't mean the other ways of living are wrong . They don't necessarily lead to happiness , but I know what I feel now must be happiness . I'm so happy that I got to know you , Minako "
" I ... I hate you ... " Minako sobbed " why must you ... do this ... to me ?! "
" I'm sorry , but I'm really glad that you made this choice . It might be difficult for you to endure this , but soon enough you'll forget it all anyway , as long as you feel happy in the end , that's all that matters to me "
Minako pointed the pistol at Ryoji's head, her hand clutched the gun tightly , and her forefinger brushed the pistol . However , her hand trembled , and her legs failed her . She collapsed on the ground before Ryoji and buried her face in palms of her hands .
" I can't do it ! I can't do it ! I can't ... ! "
" don't cry , my dearest ... " Ryoji sat in front of her , and gently touched her cheek with his finger " thank you ... I lived my happiest days with you ... "
" I'm ... I'm so sorry ... " Minako wept
Ryoji held her hands , as he helped her get a hold of the gun again . With his hand holding hers , she pointed it at his chest . His face was smiling joyfully that it was almost shining , while Minako was sobbing and crying . Before long , the sound of the gunshot echoed in the hallways of the dorm , before Minako's devastated cries and screams ...

For days after their meeting with Ryoji , the residents of Iwatodai dorm couldn't sleep . One night , Akihiko descended into the lounge , thinking of a way to get his mind off of the impending doom . In the lounge, he found a distraught Ken , who was sitting next to Koromaru , the only member that was calm about the world around him . For a while , the two of them stood in the quiet lounge , not knowing what to say to each other .
" Sanada-san ... is it true ? " Ken was the first to break the silence " is the world really coming to an end ? "
" I ... I don't know ... " Akihiko clenched his fists in anger " I promised Shinji I wouldn't ignore the world around me , and that I'd listen to what the others around me have to say , and I promised myself that I wouldn't allow another soul to be sacrificed for our cause . Now this happens , an apocalypse that we cannot avoid nor prevent ... it's like it doesn't matter how hard I work to improve myself , nothing will change ! "
