「 "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 is engulfed in a bright light, her pain replaced with a light-hearted feeling that makes her feel as though she's floating.

A small smile creeps to her pain, but it's as much as she can manage with a large gash ripping across her chest.

Brandon catches her by the back with one hand, making sure she doesn't tumble onto rough ground and injure herself any further. He nods at her in congratulations, muttering something after it but it's too soft and breathless that she can't make out his words.

Hinata smiles proudly but he says nothing in exchange, being too drained from the earlier fight to say anything that would only sound like a mush of words.

"I thought this would take me forever. Ah…" she grimaces, clutching her forehead. "We should collect the poison before we leave," she remembers. Mizuki feels around her pockets and realises she didn't bring a vial along to collect it.
