「 "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 doesn't retire immediately to bed once she's in the comfort of the bedroom, and it's not because she doesn't want to fall asleep, but it doesn't come to her as easily as she'd predicted it.

She would've thought spending an entire day on a quest that involved the use of her dwindling emotional capacity would leave her drained enough to fall asleep the moment she touched the bed.

And while she is definitely drained, she has slept too much in the afternoon for her to succumb to her slumber any quicker.

Bored, she tucks her arms behind her head and tries to sleep.

Moments seem to pass until she hears the door creak, and a shadow emerges from the crack of light of the door held slightly open. She sits up, rubbing her eyes and she notices Hinata walk in, still unbeknownst to the fact that she's awake.
