[GAREKI PV]

I tried to shoot, but I stopped in my tracks. It couldn't be her! She looks so similar to her, her pale skin, black hair. I hadn't seen her in years since she went missing. SHOOT HER GAREKI! IF YOU DON'T SHE'LL KILL [YOUR NAME]! Thoughts ran through my mind as I tried to press the trigger. My fingers were resisting, or I was resisting... I hadn't seen her in years, but now I was standing in front of her, with the piece of cold metal aimed at her.

"What are you-" I could hear [your name] say something but she stopped talking and whispered something under her breath.

I wasn't sure what she said and I was too concentrated in trying to wrap my head around everything. [your name] suddenly lunged at my arm and pressed my finger to the trigger, and a loud bang sounded.

"I got it..." I could see her panting slightly, through the corner of my eye.

"SNAP OUT OF IT!" she shook me violently by the shoulders but I didn't move.

I couldn't move a muscle. Not one. She grabbed me by the arm and dragged me away from the bloodied body.

"Yogi!" she cried out desperately, she looked like she was on the verge of collapsing.

"Gareki! [Your name]!" I heard Yogi scream out.

I snapped out of my daze at the same time as [your name] collapsed.

"Oh!" I caught her before she hit the ground and brought her up to my chest.

"You ok?" I looked at her with wide eyes as she held onto my coat for dear life.

"No you idiot! You just froze there! I didn't know what to do! I didn't know what you were doing!" she sobbed in my shirt as she yelled at me.

She felt limp in my arms. She was swaying from side to side as she tried to keep herself balanced, but it was impossible. She slowly slid down my body onto the ground.

[YOUR PV]

I sobbed into Gareki's chest and swayed side to side. I couldn't keep myself standing. I had hit my knee on the ground real hard from when she grabbed my leg and the other was like a waterfall of crimson. I slowly felt my legs get weaker and give way beneath me. I slid down his body slowly and landed on the floor softly. I could feel my lungs failing slowly with each breath and it became heavier.

"You didn't get any of the Varuga's blood on you right?" Yogi asked, keeping a slight distance.

I shook my head.

"N-none." My breath was even heavier than before by now.

"Are you alright?" Gareki kneeled down to my height as I held my stomach.

It was even harder to breathe now and it began to hurt.

"Oy, take slow breaths!" Gareki grabbed my shoulders frantically and I did as he said.

It had been a few minutes and my breathing was better.

"Gareki... why did you... hesitate?" Yogi looked Gareki in the eyes as he said that.

"Because-" he was cut off as another piece of the roof came crashing down next to me.

I squeezed my eyes shut and covered my head quickly, since I couldn't stand fast enough.

"[Your name]" The both yelled out.

This is the end... isn't it?
