"I finally realized why you've always acted like you must be the witch. Killing the Hatter and starting the witch hunt. They're both connected. One look in your eyes and I knew. Your eyes are full of self loathing, despair and anger, all with no outlet. Your eyes looked like mine, because you betrayed your friend."

Everyone was surprised at how quickly Arisu dropped information, but it all made sense now. Even if Hatter was still alive, the militant fraction would have been able to kill everyone. Aguni was the only thing holding them back. He wouldn't have done it if he wasn't Hatter's friend.

Suddenly, several of the survivors dash down the corridor. You wondered why they came here after all the commotion, but you didn't question them. There were many more important things you should be concerned about.

Despite Arisus' compelling statements, Aguni denied everything and shoved Arisu to the floor. Karube tried to attack him, but you held him back, when Arisu spoke again.

"I told you. Didn't I? I could tell from your eyes. I betrayed my friends in the games too. I would have left them to die them and was just fortunate that Y/n saved them while I ditched them. I was angry and empty and I didn't care what happened! I know you feel so bad that it hurts! But that's no reason to take it out on everyone who's still alive. Hatter might be dead, but they aren't. Don't discount the living. "

You weren't sure if you heard everything of what he said. Might have overheard one or two sentences, because your head was spinning. Arisu was sorry for harming his friends? You were the one who ordered him to stay away. Why haven't you realized it may also hurt him? You weren't the only one feeling responsible for Karubes finger. He did too and you just ignored that.

Some militants gathered in front of Arisu to shield him from Aguni, and you took advantage of the opportunity to check on Kuina, who was still motionless on the ground. You were so focused on her that you almost missed what was going on behind you. Although your injuries made it difficult to focus on more than one thing at a time, the fight Aguni started vanished into thin air… until you heard one of these lasers strike the ground, that is. Fearing for your friends' safety, you immediately turned around, only to see the girl from earlier dead on the ground.

This was all too much for you, and everything became foggy in your head, moving in slow motion and at full speed at the same time. You needed to sleep, and it was hard not to just pass out right next to Kuina.

"Y/n can you hear me?"

Shibuki. She put a hand on your shoulder and drew you to your feet, and you didn't notice the smoke in the air until she did. F ire! The entire beach was on fire, but Shibuki and Chota pulled you outside quickly. Since they dragged you out of the resort, the game must have ended.

The fresh air felt amazing, and the earth finally moved at a reasonable rate. Usagi, Arisu, and Karube soon joined you, and together with the rest of the players, you watched the Beach burn down. You weren't upset about it. Of course, it was terrible that so many people had to die in vain, but you and your friends were alright, and you didn't like the place anyhow. So what have you lost?

"Is that Chishiya?" Arisu abruptly inquired, capturing everyone's attention.

Chishiya was just a few meters away, watching the fire spread. Obviously, some of you were enraged that he was just standing there after what he had done. His audacity. While everyone else attempted to calm Karube and Usagi down so they wouldn't murder him, you quietly approached him.

"Was it worth it? Do you have the cards?"

"Huh? No more punches? I'm shocked."

"You're not worth it."

"Do you know where the word 'Utopia' came from?" he asked unexpectedly.

If you haven't learned much in school and even during your private lesson at home, you had a thing to remember random facts.

"It literally means 'nowhere.'"

Chishiya stared at you, and you assumed he was amazed.

"What? I'm not a complete moron. Do you believe you actually need these cards? The ten of hearts was the final card we needed."

"I'm not sure, but I hope not, given that they all burnt."

"You disappoint me, Chishiya," you mumbled while looking back at your friends, who finally calmed down. "Do whatever you like, but if you want to live, you should probably stay away from my friends," you mumbled and started to walked away, when his hand grabbed your wrist.

"You have potential. Stay alive."

"I'll try," you muttered as you removed yourself, only to stop a few feet later. "You too," you say before looking for a comfy spot in the grass near your friends.

When you spotted Karube laying down like a starfish next to Arisu - who had his head on Usagis' lap - you decided to use his arm as a pillow. You thought it was funny how Karube tried to protect the glasses with one hand but failed when he fell asleep. You weren't concerned about them. Nobody would know what they were doing, therefore no one would steal them. That's why you didn't attempt to take them and risk waking Karube up.

"How do you feel?" you asked finally, after a few minutes. "And I want a real answered, because I know you are not okay." You said after ensuring that Chota and Shibuki were both asleep as well. They were cuddling a few feet away, so they were a bit hard to see, but the steady breathing gave them away.

"You mean because of Niragi?"

"It's okay if it's hard to open up for you. I can talk first if you like," you assured her, but she shook her head.

"You know, I was lying there feeling like shit because I couldn't help you, but when he stepped up to me… I-I just felt so…" she stopped.

"Disgusting? Like you want to rip your skin off were he touched you? That's at least how I feel, yet he did worse to you than he did to me."

"Thank you so much for saving me. Everything happened because I wasn't cautious enough," Usagi muttered turning her head way.

"No it's not. Knowing Niragi it would have happened sooner or later anyway, even if we hadn't tried to steal the cards. But we shouldn't worry about the 'if's, we can't change it now anyway, and we might be able to accept it someday. Just know that you can talk to me if you need to," you said gently lying a and on hers, making sure not to make her feel uncomfortable.

"Someday sounds nice," Usagi says, gazing up once again. She wouldn't talk about it any more, and neither would you; just knowing that you had this moment and each other for now was all you needed.

"How are your injuries?"

"Things might be worse. Let's just hope it doesn't interfere with whatever happens next."

"What do you think will happen?"

"I'm not sure, probably more games. It doesn't matter because as long as I have you guys, we can win everything."

"Yeah, your right. We should probably get some sleep."

"You think? I don't care, if we should. It's nice to talk with you. Right now, I feel like I've known you for years. Who knows, perhaps we will in the future."

"The future?"

"This game has to come to an end in some way. Perhaps we can go back... When the time comes, I'd like to keep you as a friend."

"Going back," she muttered "I'm not sure if I want this."

"Sounds like a personal reason. Do you want to talk about it?"

"No. Not right now… perhaps later."

"All right," you said. "However, if it doesn't bother you, I'd want to tell you about me."

She shook her head, so you continued.

"When I got here and I meet Arisu, Chota and Karube I was afraid. My entire life was planned out to be flawless. I was alone and since they knew themselves I was anxious they would just leaf me behind. To be honest, I don't think they were the friends I was looking for in my previous life. I realized this when we started our first game. We were simply individuals who were moving in the same direction, but as the game progressed and I saw how different each of them were, I wondered whether we could be friends as well. That day, I learned that a relationship, no matter what form, isn't as simple or as wonderful as you see in movies. They are irrational and messy. All you have to do is try, and perhaps it will work out.

You took a little break before continuing your talk. You double-checked that everyone was still sleeping and that Usagi wasn't bored. But she wasn't; she seemed curious and waited for you to continue.

"I'm not sure what happened to you, but you have your reasons to dislike our normal world… But let me tell you something: people before we arrived are exactly the same as the people here. You simply haven't met the right people yet. Maybe one day you'll be able to stop running and start building a life that works out better for you. I'm not trying to alter your views or anything; I simply want you to think about all of your options before deciding to stay or leaf."

There was silence after that, and because none of you said anything else, you had nothing to keep you awake. You slept in then and there in the grass with Karubes arm as a pillow and a burning building in the distance. You were still at ease, surrounded by friends and people you may consider friends in the future.
