"Wake up, [Name]. We have to get ready for the Dome." Aqua said as he gently shook me awake. "You too Ruby!" He scolded but Ruby just rolled away grumpily. I slowly blinked and noticed we were back home in Ai's bed. "What time is it...?" I asked, grumpily.
"It's already 6 am," Aqua responded. Six..."Mama!" I shouted when the time registered in my head. Ai's supposed to open the door about now and I'm oversleeping.
"Yes? What's wrong [Name}?" Ai asked rushing into the room. 'YES YES YES YES!!!'
"Um...Up..?" I softly asked, grabbing hands at her, hoping she would think I was just clingy. "Aren't you too old for this?" she teased but picked me up anyway.
Then a gentle knock on the door captured her attention.
"Oh that must be the President," Ai said putting me down so she could go off and answer the door. She jogged off and closed the bedroom door with us kids inside. 'No, I have to get there!' I thought as I ran after her.
With each step I could feel my heart pounding in my chest, all sound was muffled the only thing I could hear was the beating of my heart and the soft steps of Ai.
Time itself felt slowed down in this moment, the closer I got to her the slower it got. "Ai!" I exclaimed desperately reaching out to grab her. At the last moment, I leapt forward and managed to hug her tightly from behind.
She stopped at the sudden contact and turned around to face me. "Aw, that's sweet [Name] but I need to let the president in, and you need to get dressed." She explained while patting my head.
'The door is locked so hopefully she keeps it that way.' I thought to myself staring intently at the chain lock.

'What?!' The once locked door was no longer locked, what just happened?! That glitch thing made it suddenly unlocked and now...This is it.
This is one of the outcomes that I theorized! Ai's hand twisted the door unlocked, and just as it opened I jumped in front of her, "Ai stand back!"
"How are your kids doing?" The words of the stalker filled my ears as his knife pierced my neck. Tears slipped down my cheeks and blood started to bubble in my mouth. That bastard managed to stab straight through my jugular, but this is what needed to happen, I can die now.
I...I'm dying now. I saved Ai but this is the last time I'll ever get to see her and everyone else. No, I did what I had to. I'm sorry Ai, Ruby, Aqua, Miyako, everyone, I'm sorry! This life was the best, Goodbye, I hope your story gets a happy ending now. Then everything went black.
