「 "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

Seto holds out his notepad in front of Mizuki's face, simply hovering it there to prompt her to sit up. Mizuki squints, trying to make out the drawing despite the sun shining directly in her eyes. She holds it in her hand, and he allows, after which she finds a semi-realistic sketch of herself done with his expert hand. Her eyes widen and her lips curl into a smile.

"I didn't know you could draw people so well, wow!" she exclaims.

Seto grins, and there's more relief than there is gratitude. It's as though he was worried she wouldn't like it.

"It came with practice," he replies proudly and it sounds as though he has been waiting to use this line for a long while. Mizuki notices how he looks akin to a child with his innocent pride, bearing a proud grin on his smile.

"You like it, right?" he asks again and it, now like he's fishing for compliments.
