"Now let our Date Battle Begin!"

Kuro: ....

I couldn't say anything.

I couldn't move any part of my body.

I couldn't do anything.

Kuro: ...

I can only retreat.

Retreat deep into my mind.

A place all alone to myself.

Hua was gone.

Out for a while to investigate a hunch she had.

She didn't tell me what it was, nor how long she would be gone.

And honestly, I didn't care.

I trusted her and she trusted me.

That's all that matters.

Kuro: ...

Sinking.

I feel rather useless at the moment.

I thought Kurumi was my friend.

Well no.

I guess that was a clone of the Original. Or maybe the Original was the clone that decided to replace the Original? 

How hilarious.

Even if it was a clone, she didn't care for me. I was merely a means to an end.

It's fine.

I don't care about her at all.

I don't care about the way she betrayed me.

About how she shot me point blank without hesitation.

About how she was willing to threaten the lives of innocents.

About how happy she looks when petting Kittens.

About how beautiful her smile is when she finds something amusing.

About how making her giggle made me feel like the luckiest man in the world.

About how I loved-

Kuro: ....

Sinking

Maybe it's for the best.

What use does a world like this for a naive fool such as myself?

The curse of the Kaslana...

I was never meant to be happy.

I'm a tool meant to end the Honkai right?

A warrior who must defend humanity above all else.

So...

Kuro: Nothing matters anymore...

Sinking.

Falling.

Drowning.

Begging for someone to save me...

___

Raizen High School's rooftop was currently encased in shadows. Not metaphorically or figuratively. Quite literally.

The time was 17:00 hours (5 PM for those American Brothers and Sisters) and the sun had already begun to set, however the sky was still being illuminated.

Furthermore, between the stars and the earth, there was not a hint of cloud cover to block the sunlight.

It was precisely because of that that the location where Shido Itsuka is at seemed to be separated from the surrounding scenery and is being covered by a shade of darkness.
