Gangle walked through the exit doors, looking for Pomni.
"P-pomni? Where are you..?"
They opened an exit door for what seemed to be the 90th time and was met with an office.
It was dingy, the lights flickering at times. The wallpaper was torn, and it smelled of mildew.
Gangle looked around, and spotted a computer. Must be broken, though, this place seems too old to inhabit a computer.
"Pomni...?"
Shuffling was heard in the distance.
"Pomni? Is that you..?"
Gangle walked slowly and cautiously over to where she heard the shuffling.
They saw something red, it must be Pomni! She followed quickly.
"Wait! P-Pomni!"
She was met with an awful sight.
Pomni was trying to get away from Gangle, giggling, holding her head.
"Hehe...Hi, Gangle!! It's me, Pomni! Just little old me, a-haha!"
Gangle felt a chill run down her spine.
"P-Pomni...? A-are you alright..?"
Pomni glitched.
"Hehe, of course I'm alright! I'm the best I've ever been, Gangle! Haha, hehe!!"
Gangle took a step back.
"Pomni..."
They took a deep breath.
"I need to get you out."
Pomni's crazed smile dropped immediately. "Get me out? No, I don't need to get out, I NEED TO STAY HERE! DO YOU KNOW HOW LONG I'VE WANTED TO GET OUT OF HERE, GANGLE?!"
Gangle recoiled slightly.
"I-I know, b-but Pomni, y-you aren't acting like yourself!"
Pomni looked furious, ferocious even. She gritted her teeth.
"NOT ACTING LIKE MYSELF?! HOW WOULD YOU KNOW HOW I ACT!! YOU JUST THINK YOU KNOW EVERYTHING ABOUT ME, JUST ACCEPT THE FACT THAT YOU DO-"
Pomni was interrupted by Gangle grabbing her hand and running.
"HEY! LET GO-", Pomni started to protest.
"NO! I WON'T LET GO UNTIL YOU GET OUT OF YOUR CRAZE! I WON'T LET SOMEBODY GET ABSTRACTED JUST BECAUSE OF ME, POMNI!"
Gangle ran as fast as she could, and rushed into the long hallway. They ran in slow motion towards the door to the void and threw Pomni in, before going in and slamming the door behind them.
"NO! GANGLE, YOU B-"
"I'M TRYING TO PROTECT YOU, POMNI! JUST UNDERSTAND THAT, PLEASE!"

No.

Pomni refused to understand that stupid excuse.

She needed out.
