「 "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

Mizuki turns her head away with no protest, a signal for her to continue with her request. "I'm sure you know of the Befallen Pieces of Astra. You see, ever since the one in Octantis went missing, I've been searching for the location of the Sigmane one to make sure it's alright. I tried asking Gaia and the rest but they didn't take me seriously when I brought it up. They pretend it's in its original place."

"So what do you want me to do?" Mizuki raises an eyebrow, increasingly suspicious of Hotaru's intention behind knowing the location of the Befallen Piece.

While it's also true that she deserves to know because of her rank in the Association, something about her wanting to protect it just doesn't seem right to Mizuki.

Though, she couldn't possibly show any sign of distress on her side else her own intentions would be revealed.
