M/n sees Udiyaka sitting next to Keres. "Is Keres going to live?" M/n asks Udiyaka, "I..." Udiyaka bites her tongue and looks away, "I-I'm not sure.. j-just now, he closed his eyes... his heart is still beating but I don't know if he'll wake up again." Udiyaka clenched her hands.

"..."

M/n walked over to Keres, "Magic can't help in this situation.. can it?" M/n looked at Udiyaka who shook her head, "No.. magic is used for combat. Look M/n.. I'm sure Keres will wake up soon.." Udiyaka got up and hugged M/n, "I'll leave you alone with Keres, I'm going to get some water." Udiyaka then left the roof, leaving Keres and M/n by themselves.

M/n sat down next to Keres and got close to Keres ear, "I love you. It might sound weird coming from another boy, but you're my first friend.. you saved me, so please let me save you.." M/n laid down next to Keres and closed his eyes.

"Let me... con-"

~~~~~~

M/n gasped and sat up, "Ah... hah... what.." M/n looked around, he was no longer on the roof, but in a void, "Where am I...?" M/n got up and started walking around, "Wait... this can't be... can it..? KERES!" M/n shouted as loud as he could, but there was no answer.

"Answer me if you're here!" M/n cupped his mouth to make his voice louder. "Please, come back.." M/n bent down and covered his face, "Keres.." M/n then suddenly M/n felt someone walk past him, he immediately stood up and turned around, "Keres!" M/n smiled and tried to grab his arm, "What the-" The so called 'Keres' had vanished, "This is... what I did... he's copying me? But why... wait if he's doing what I did then...!

M/n started running, he didn't stop until he saw some sort of light. He got closer to that light and ended up in the same room where Keres found him, the room with a mirror.

"This time... I found you!" M/n looked around the room, he opened the closet that was next to the mirror, "Keres... why are you in there?" M/n helped Keres out of the closet.

"...No reason. M/n why are you here? How did you get in anyway?" Keres questioned M/n, "I just... laid down next to you and next thing I know, I'm in your mind..." M/n replies, "M/n, I'm not sure if it's safe for you here.." Keres anxiously told M/n, "Huh? What do you mean?" M/n asked.

"I can't wake up right now, my body's heavily asleep due to the stab wound... and I'm worried you won't be able to wake up either because this is my consciousness..." Keres explains to M/n, but that only left M/n confused, "W-wait, so you're telling me you can only get your body back if the body's awake in the first place?" Keres nodded, "Yes, that's correct... I'm wide awake as a conscious, but my real body is dead asleep."

"...If I go back now... when will you wake up?" M/n glanced at Keres, "I'm not sure myself, but I know that you should leave soon." Keres goes back in the closet, but leaves the door open, "Why are you going back in the closet?" M/n tilted his head in curiously.

"It's kind of comforting here. Hurry up and go."

M/n sighs, "I'll leave now, but you better wake up soon, promise?" M/n held out his pinkie making Keres smile, "I'll try." Keres replies and their pinkies intertwine.

M/n turns away and closes his eyes, but was interrupted, "Wait, before you go..." Keres called out from the closet.

"Don't let your guard down. Dev is still out there."

~~~~~~

"!!" M/n sat up once again, he was back on the roof. M/n looked next to him, where Keres was lying down, "..." M/n stood up and walked into the building.

"Udiyaka? Mr glasses?" M/n looked around, but they were no where to be seen, "Where are..." M/n ran to the elevator and pressed the down button, "Dev couldn't have... no, that's not possible! I used a portal, there's no way she could've kidnapped them!" Once M/n reached the bottom, he quickly got off and scanned the place.
