Chapter 2: Daniel
To Be One Ending Theme 1: Time of Our Life (Japanese Ver) by DAY6

It's been three days since that unnatural day occurred. No signs of Noctis and Yujin since then. Both Jade and Pearl are worried sick because they haven't received any replies from all the text they sent.

So, they decided to go back to the park...

"Do you think this will work?" Jade is standing right beside Pearl, looking around as if she's afraid. Pearl admit, they don't know anything about how and why they got to that ghost town version of their city. It just occurred in that spur of a moment.

"I don't know. But it might somehow." Pearl sighed in frustration as they walked around the usual crowded park. They halted to the same spot where they got transported to the other dimension or whatever that place was, trying to figure out how to get back there.

"But what if it doesn't work? We have no idea how in the world we even got into that place." Jade made a defeated sigh, slumping on the ground while tracing the concrete with her index finger.

'Yes, it's exactly as I thought. But I know, if we went there once, there can always be a next time. Could it be that it was only activated when Noctis and Yujin are there? But what makes them so different from us?' Pearl debated herself.

A sudden vibration was felt in her skirt pocket which made her instantly grab my phone. Her eyes widened as soon as she saw the name of the caller.

'Bae <3- I mean NOCTIS!'

She immediately answered the call and called for his name. "Noctis?! Hello?! Where are you guys?!" She frantically asked but, as soon as she looked up at the sky, it was that same dark sky we saw the other day.

"Pearl!" Jade called, "Everyone's gone again! Does that mean we're in?"

Her eyes scanned at her surroundings. And as Jade has mentioned, everyone was gone again. The tree that has been struck by the lightning is broken as expected. 'Just what is this place?!'

"Pearl... L..." Noctis' voice came across the line but it was too static to be heard.

"Hello?! Noctis! Where are you guys?!"

"We... Fine... GO-" The call ended with those words from him. Thunder roared across the sky and clouds cried rain, making both Pearl and Jade drenched in rain.

"Ah! Seriously! We didn't even bring an umbrella!" Jade complained, as they both started to run for shelter.

'Go' that word lingered in Pearl's mind.

'Noctis' voice sounded scared when he mentioned that. But what was he afraid of? And where are we supposed to go?'

Jade stopped and so did Pearl, noticing a person in black cloak standing a few feet away from them. Their hearts pounded heavily as they gaze at the mysterious entity in front of them.

'Could it be, this is what Noctis warned us about?' Pearl clenched her fist and took a deep breath before she called out for it.

"Hey! Hello! Hello?! Do you mind if I ask you a few questions?!" she shouted.

"Are you crazy?! What if that person is dangerous?!" Jade shouted in whisper at Pearl, smacking her head for acting stupid.

"I know. But what if this stranger knows something about this dimension? I'm going to talk to him," As Pearl was about to leave, Jade grabbed her by the arm, making her to face her.

"Stop! You're getting yourself in trouble! Let's leave already!" It was as if she was begging Pearl not to go and she know why she's like this. Pearl tend to do troublesome stuff most of the time, but this time, she have to take the risk. That person might know something about all of this or at least know anything about their friend's whereabouts.
