Twenty-two butterflies

~Y/N POV~

Arisu : Tatta !

Tatta's face appears from behind the window of the car, a relieved smile on the lips. Ann is seating by his side on the passenger seat, the closest one to us.

Ann : Don't just stand there !

Kuina leans closer to the car, her eyes filling with alleviation as she shouts.

Kuina : Ann !

But our reunion is suddenly interrupted by bullets ricocheting on a car nearby. As if he knew about our attempt to escape, the King of Spades shots towards us, determined to ruin our plan. Tatta leans back in his seat, eyes widening with fear.
Ann doesn't wait a second more to open the car door. Usagi is the first to rush inside the vehicle, sliding to the last seat to leave room for Arisu. He's the next one hastily entering the car. Barely sitting, he immediatly turns towards us with a big hand move, inviting us to come inside. Kuina follows his advice with no hesitation, almost throwing herself next to the young man. She then shouts to us.

Kuina : Quick, you two !

I nervously nod to her while putting my bomb in my pocket. Suddenly, a hand strongly pushes me towards the car. I hear Chishiya's voice flying to my ears, still half muffled by the loud gunshots rushing through the air.

Chishiya : You heard her, go inside !

I jump to the road, grabbing the hand Kuina was holding out for me on the way. She instantly pulls me inside as I harshly land in her arms, accidently crushing Arisu and Usagi against the car door. Kuina keeps an arm around me while shouting to Chishiya.

Kuina : Run Chishiya !

But he isn't. Bullets land closer and closer to us, the King of Spades is on its way to end our lives, but even though, Chishiya doesn't run. I've always admired his composure. The way he always manages to remain calm even in the worst situations. That's one of the many things I like and envy about him. But right now, it's not composure, it's pure stupidity ! Get yourself together Chishiya Shuntaro !
The moment he finally approaches the car door, I grab his arm by the fabric of his sweatshirt. But when he tries to step inside the car, he freezes in place, eyes glued to the floor. I nervously follow his gaze.
A grenade. A single grenade between him and me, but it feels like a whole wall has risen. It's impossible for us to reunite now, isn't it ? In a split second, our eyes meet, and I don't need more to understand that he has come to the same conclusion as me. His sweatshirt escapes from my fingers as Chishiya hastily retreats.

Chishiya : That's bad.

His eyes flicker towards Ann.

Chishiya : Get going !

I try to say something, but the moment my lips part, Chishiya's hand grabs the car door and harshly closes it. The blink of an eye later, he's gone. Our car is already leaving the street.

Kuina : Chishiya !

I wanna scream too, I wanna shout his name like Kuina does. But I can't. My voice seems to have stayed with Chishiya on the road. I look at my hand in silence. My fingers are still pressed against each others, in the same position as when I was holding Chishiya's sweatshirt. I should have hold it longer. I should have pulled him in the car with us, even with the grenade. The window would have probably broke with the explosion, but I don't care. What's a panic attack of a couple minutes next to the lost of a loved one maybe forever ? Nothing. And I'm even more heartbroken to realize that that very precise panic attack might have played a part in his decision of letting go of the car instead of coming with us.
A soft voice coming from the driver's seat makes me come back to my senses.
