    Summary

    “You’re bleeding.”

    “Huh?” Ichika blinks, looking down at her body, but the wound quickly makes itself obvious.

    It’s a slash across her left forearm, likely done with the tip of Saki's spear, beading with droplets of blood as evidence of her carelessness. She frowns.

    “At least it's not deep. I'll have to…” She trails off when she looks up and meets Saki’s eyes. Right. “Oh. Do you want to…?”

    “Can I?” Saki asks, but she’s already reaching for Ichika, her fingers wrapping around the wounded arm.

    Summary

    Honami had never been a big fan of the dark. It’s a childish discomfort, she knows that.

    In the dark, there’s nothing that can be seen. No way to tell where anybody was or what was happening around you. You could be all alone, and nobody would ever know what happened to you or where you were.

    -

    Honami was always a kind person. If you needed something from her, she would be there to listen and help out. That kindness was offered so that she could be safe.
    Kindness doesn't guarantee safety, though. Not in a place where it feels like everybody is out to get you.

    Summary

    "We are alive, in the loosest sense. We're sentient, we're sapient, we're practically humans," you ramble, letting your thoughts flow out. "But we're not real."

    You think of all the times you would catch MEIKO staring out the window, silently disclosing her dissatisfaction for her role in this world. You never brought the topic up with her, but a small part of you agrees.

    If you could escape from the SEKAI into the real world and live like a human being—living, breathing, existing—you'd take the chance with only a tiny bit of hesitation. You'd feel guilty for abandoning the girls, but you're sure they'd understand in due time. You'd hope they'd understand, eventually.

    "I don't know what we are," you say. "I don't know what it means to be alive, but not real."
