「 "If you never let me go, I'll never stop wanting you." 
Then he does. It's too late to realise she didn't want him to. 」

24-year-old Hirashi Mizuki, the promising heir of Japan's leading technology group, somehow finds herself stuck in a video game! Mizuki doesn't know why she's here or how she can get out - her encounters with the mischievous adventurer, Yasui Hinata edging her on to find a way out. Faster. The only way, she finds, is by completing a Final Quest, saving the Land of Astrum from an underlying tragedy. Mizuki swears she’ll do everything in her power to get herself back home. Hinata promises the same, that he'll do anything to restore his home to a place where Mizuki doesn't exist. 

It’s only at the end that they realise - after three years of each other’s company - they’re too attached to let go.

When Our World Ends

"Ah… That's unnerving," is all Hinata says before they lapse into a muted silence. "You should make sure your pendant is always safe. You never know what may happen."


And in the background, the still air is punctured by the rustling of leaves and a creak. Mizuki turns and a branch twists off the bark, plummeting to the ground from the canopy. She raises her gaze in suspicion, staring quizzically for a few moments longer before turning her back to the noises. Unbeknownst to her, a figure lurks, slowly appearing through collecting particles in the air, brushing itself down. "Trees are such an inconvenience," it fumbles silently, sly eyes tracing the footprints left on the dirt path. It's gone again. 


"This Fissure… organisation or whatever..." Mizuki asks cautiously after a couple moments of bated silence. "Will they be a problem in getting to our end goal?"
