Ellis: " Do you... have a plan then? "
" Well... I wouldn't be so calm if I didn't, would I? "
Ellis: " S-Sorry... "
" No need to apologize, I don't think this plan will even work at all... "
Ellis: " How come? "
" Even though I've been Rose's boyfriend for a long time, I haven't figured out anything about her... "
"It's like... That night, at the party. "
Ellis: " H-Huh? What do you mean? "
" What I mean is that I can only remember what I know about her from that night! "
No, No, No... This shouldn't be the case... I should know much more than this! Why can't I remember all of a sudden?!
Ah damnit!
" That doesn't matter anyways... Even if I did know all the things she hides among average people, this plan that I'm thinking about is based solely on whether she really likes me or not. "
Ellis: " That... doesn't sound reassuring. "
" We don't really have any other choice, do we? This plan is the only way to save us three. "
That reminds me.
" What is Jess going to do after we save her? "
Ellis thinks for a bit as if trying to remember something she was told.
" Well... I think she'd just go back to America, honestly. "
America? USA??
" I can't tell you why she owes me a favor but... She came back all the way from the US just to help me so... Please, save her. "
Well, I already thought about how to save her.
" Right, I should probably tell you what's the plan now. "
You look around to see if anybody is listening.
" ... This place is not secure though, Let's go back to my house. It's also closer to the place she told us to go. "
[ At his house ]
You drink water from a glass as you sit down on your bed before continuing.
" Alright, in the most simplest way of explaining this is... "
" First, we should bring at least 1 weapon we can bring to defend ourselves with, I'd recommend it to be small so you can just hide it in your pocket without being too suspicious. "
Ellis: " Like... a knife? "
" Sure, not a kitchen knife though... "
I took a breath before continuing.
" Next, we go to the location she sent us, They are in an abandoned warehouse. That place has been there before I was even born so that place is pretty worn down. "
You think for a second before continuing again.
" Before I explain further about that, we should safely retrieve Jess from the building as soon as we can. "
She gives me a confused look as if asking why.
" I plan to bring down the warehouse on them. "
You took a sip and spoke.
" To continue, Us three are required t o be out of the building by the time it gets to that point because... It's meant to slow them down, not us. "
Ellis: " But... how do we bring it down? I searched it up and it looks pretty big for a warehouse... "
" I've been to that place when I was a kid. I remember my mom telling me to never go since that warehouse has been there for a long time. "
" No maintenance team has made sure that the building was safe to enter, so she really didn't want me to go. "
