I ran to Niragi "Niragi are you okay" "yes" he said with deep pain hidden in his voice. I began to cry seeing the only one who cares about me in so much pain. The Beach began to burn, so I picked Niragi up, put him on my back, and quickly carried him out before the whole thing burned down.

Three weeks later

It's only been a couple of weeks since Niragi got burnt at The Beach. Nowadays he is always drugged up on painkillers I find at nearby pharmacies. He hasn't been himself lately he gets mad at everything and when he gets mad he takes it out on me by calling me names and yelling at me. One night I left Niragi to go and renew my visa. The game was very dangerous and I almost lost. I felt good because I won and now I'm safe but I killed 29 people. "How does Niragi do this?" I screamed into empty Shibuya. I saw a convenience store on my way home and decided to get some canned food. As soon as I entered the house Niragi screamed from the kitchen "where have you been" I looked at the time and it read 3:00 am "I was at a game renewing my visa" "which level" " five of spades' I said scared. "You could have died babe," he said, his voice softening.

"Babe?" I questioned " you haven't called me that since we started dating back at The Beach," I said emotionless "I'm sorry," he said with his head now hanging low "no your not" I spat back at him " just admit it you don't love me anymore," I said voice getting louder with every word. "Babe," he said in a quiet voice, almost a whisper."Shut up you're a bad boyfriend and a bad friend" I blurted out. Niragi suddenly walked up to me and backhand slapped me across the face with full force. "don't ever call me a bad boyfriend, after all, I've done for you". He stormed upstairs leaving me crying and holding my now bleeding cheek " why did he do that? Why did he hit me?" That night I slept on the couch because I didn't want to be near Niragi. He scared me now. I didn't feel safe around Niragi then my mind drifted off.....

Flashback

"I would never hurt you, " Niragi said. I knew it was not true but I'll go with it for now when the moment is fresh. He dragged me to his favorite spot in Tokyo even though the rules of the beach say that we can't leave. He risked it all for me. We kept walking and eventually we made it, the view was beautiful. He laid out all the food that he got from the convenience stores around the city "I love you"...
