Y/Ns POV
I'm wandering around on the streets searching for food and any supplies I can find. I haven't seen many people for a while now, I find that a good thing. No worries or struggles ahead. Although, I can't help thinking about those four idiots. As much as I despised them at times, I actually kinda miss them.

Shibuki and her selfishness, her intelligence and the way she used to argue with Karube all the time.

Karube and his shield of armor, he was like the tall warrior of the group. His harsh words and stupid decisions.

Chōta with his kindness, vulnerability and his soft personality. He was somebody who would do anything for his friends happiness.

Last but not least, Arisu. Quick witted and highly intelligent yet quick to panic and over think things.

I worry about them, but I'm sure they can handle themselves perfectly fine. I'm worrying about something I wish I didn't have to worry about. I always promised myself when I arrived here that I would never gain any friendships with anybody. Anything can happen, I don't want to have feelings distract me...

It's night, I seemed to have not noticed it. I head to a game thats located inside a tunnel.

That's when I saw him, Arisu. He was stood next to whom I recognised as the athletic lady from the tag game. He seemed to have noticed me to as I saw his eyes light up as I entered further into the tunnel.

"Is that... Y/n?" He called out, he looked... So relieved? He must of not been so sure about who I was but my hair gave it away. I jogged up to him and he jumped at me with a hug. Why is he acting so close? I wonder. He even started to cry for a bit. "What the-?" I was beginning to say something until he cut me off, "I thought you were dead, I'm so glad your alive!"

"Why are you wearing a mask and bandages?" He sounded concerned but I just shook the question off and ignored him. The woman and him seemed a bit cautious about it but decided not to say anything.

I'm surprised Arisu even recognized me with this mask on.

Why would he think I was dead, and how come he is with this lady now. Where are the others?

"Arisu, where are the others..?" I mumbled to him, I have a bad feeling about why there not here and I don't want to make anything bad happen by asking a simple question.

He looked down to the ground, a tear escaping his eye. "It.. was my fault.." he hesitated. I raised my eyebrow, I know what had happened but I didn't have the heart to be emotionally damaged by it. I hugged Arisu again, "It's okay, I'm sure it wasn't your fault."

He seemed extremely surprised by my kind words as I was normally a cold hearted and distant ally. He nodded slowly and I turned to the woman.

"I saw you in the tag game, yet I never quite got your name." I signalled for her to tell me her name. I much prefer to know the names of people I'm around, as long as I don't get attached. "Uragi." She pulled an awkward smile and turned up ahead. I followed her gaze to see a parked yellow bus, covered in graffiti.

The introduction was short but I didn't want to talk more about what happened to Arisu friends. They were good people and I'm sure a good part of me will miss them.

The three of us walk towards the bus and head inside to see exactly three guys seated at the back. We picked up the phones and looked at the screen.

"Your not newbies?" One of the guys stated, I turned up to look at them, as did Uragi whilst Arisu just avoided all eye contact to anybody. "Who are you?" The athletic lady questioned the guys. "We are the guys that cleared four games together, we met at the first game and have worked as a team." The one at the far black in blue answered.

Lucky to still have eachother I thought to myself. "We might need more people though, to clear this level." A feircer looking one stared us down. I looked down at one of them and noticed an injury upon his leg. "Your hurt?" He turned to me then at his leg, "uh, I tweeked it a bit.." he replied, shuffling his leg over to the side and out of view.

"In a game?" Arisu finally spoke up. He was talking about the leg and seemed worried for the guy. Probably from when chōta hurt his leg... The phone chimed and that familiar woman's voice popped up once again.

I looked up at the guy with a sprained ankle, it's a running game.. "Does this mean we have to run..?" He looked over at the men. "Distance, 0.." I read out. Wouldn't 0 mean closer to the goal? I pondered but I didn't say anything in case I was wrong.

"We have to run.. on the highway?" Another one spoke up, it was frustrating me that I had no clue who was talking most of the time. "We got to run!?" The one with the hut ankle spoke up and got up fast but fell down at the pain.

"Takuma!" One of the guys said, trying to help the poor man out. No way he could run in that condition, even if he tried for the whole 120 minutes!

They began to struggle before the one in red headed towards the front of the bus, past us onto the steering wheel to try and start it. No luck, it stayed camped. "Shit! It's out of gas." He slammed his fist on the wheel.

I rolled my eyes, why would they keep a moving bus here. There would be no point of the game. "looks like we have to run." Uragi pointed out. No shit Sherlock..

"Go on, leave me here." The injured one spoke. I wouldnt mind that but I can't just say it out loud. Everyone looked back at him, "listen to me, I don't plan on just sitting around waiting to die! I'm gonna try and find a way to survive, but you got to go." He hesitated and stuttered a bit but his voice remained strong and confident at the same time..

At this point we are not gonna get any distance. "Were not leaving you behind-!" The younger one was cut off with Takuma or whatever his name was yelling "You got to survive, so go now! You want to see your wife don't you? What about that baby she's carrying!? What the hell are they supposed to do without you!" He took heavy breathes and began again, "don't worry about me, I got this." Everyone glanced at eachother. I felt extremely awkward and had nothing to say so stayed silent.

I stepped out of the bus, I can't be bothered with that. I looked over at the side of the bus, Goal... Hm...

I'll wait till they find out about it..

Thankyou for reading, I hope you enjoyed.
