Amane slowly backed away, his sweat trickled down from his forehead. "What?"

      "Runaway with me." Y/n tells him.

      Y/n and Amane left the rooftop together and tried to get out of school.
      Currently, Y/n was now trying to open the gates of the school. "Come on Y/n! If you can break a newly bought shades then you can break this!" she said.

      Then to her surprise, the gate was opened. "Yes! Beat that! God of Destruction, muahahahaha!" she cackled.

      "Hanako-kun, let's go!" Y/n looked at him with a smile on her face. Amane hesitated as he took a step back.

      "Y/n? Aren't you going outside?" he asked while twiddling his fingers.

      "Yeah, let's get out of here together Hanako-kun." Y/n says as she cocked an eyebrow at him.

      Amane paused. "I'm not coming. I don't want to go outside."

      'This stubborn ass bitch I swear——!'

      "Hanako-kun?" Y/n walked over to the hesitated boy as she gently grabbed his hands. "Do you want to stay here?"

      "Or should I say, Amane-kun?"

      Amane smiled at her. "Of course I do! I wanna stay here, why run away?"

      "This right now is the most fun I ever had!"

      "There's nothing good to be found outside, the roads at night are dangerous, it's too bright to see the stars." Amane explained, he was serious about this. "Let's go back to the others..."

      "Do you not like it here?"

      "I like this world, this is the only place where I can be your girlfriend." Y/n implied while holding back her tears. "But I feel like it's too impossible for it to happen."

      "So just shut up and run away with me!"

      Amane sighed in defeat. "Fine, I'll run away with you." he said.

      "Yes!" Y/n cheered silently.

      "If you go alone, it'll be dangerous." Amane stated as he grabbed her hand.

      Y/n flash a smile that made his heart skip a beat. "Thank you, Hanako-kun!"

      The girl stepped out of the gates of the school, Amane paused for a moment. "Something wrong?" she asked.

      "Ah, it's nothing." Amane winced as he followed her to the outside world in hopes of finding the end of this Utopian world.

➽───────────────❥

      "Wait, you can ride a bike?!" Y/n asked as she held on to Amane's shoulders while riding the bike. It was a pretty bumpy ride since they were going downhill.

      "Where are we going?!" Amane asked back.

      "We're going very far!" Y/n answered.

      If this is Shijima's painting then there's gotta be an end, if they can reach that place then they could have got out of this world.

      "Maybe we can get a bus or a train, we need to find the end!" Y/n tells him.

      "The end..?"

      Y/n shot her head up and saw a nearby bus stop. "Look! There's a bus stop! We gotta go!"

      Y/n got out of Amane's bike and waved at the bus for attention. "Wait! For us!"

      "Y/n wait up!" Amane called out as he parked his bicycle. The bus suddenly stopped earning a sigh of relief from Y/n.

      Y/n and Amane went infront of the bus and climbed in. "I only have coins, though."

      "Don't worry I'll pay!" Y/n whipped out her wallet. "We have to get far away before Shijima-san finds us."

      "Sorry for having you stop at this hour." Y/n sweatdropped as she went to the driver.

      "Why are you such a hurry?" The driver's face changed into Shijima-san's amusing smile. "At this hour?"

      'Oh man holy shit it's Shijima-san, she's after me!'

      "You got to be shitting me." Y/n groaned as she grabbed Amane away from Shijima-san in a nick of time.

      "What's going on?!" Amane was confused on how Y/n was acting. The two of them ran over to the pedestrian lane.

      Then the traffic lights turned green. The taxi was about to move until Amane pushed out of the way. "Hey! Be careful!" the taxi driver scolded them.

      "Sorry, can we take a ride?" Y/n asked. She was currently panting and sweating for all the running she did.

      Amane and Y/n went inside the taxi and buckled their seatbelts together. Then to Y/n's surprise, Shijima-san turned her head towards her direction. "You musn't do dangerous things such as running out into a street."

      Y/n jumped out of the taxi and fell on to her face. "Fucking hell!" she mumbled while rubbing her nose. Her face fell in horror as she saw Shijima-san's face all around her.

      "You can go wherever you want but remember all of this is all my canvas!" she taunted.

      "I'm always watching you~!"

      "KYAAAA!" Y/n grabbed Amane's hand once again as they dashed off far from Shijima-san. The two of them ended up in a playground, where no people are around.

      Y/n hid inside the playground cave as she hugged her knees together. Amane gave her a can of Sprite but she denied it. "What should we do? Everywhere we go she was there."

      "They all look normal to me." Amane shrugged as he sat outside of the playground cave. Y/n sighed in frustration, she wanted to get out of this world immediately.

      "Today was really a good day since I get to hang out with my girlfriend." said Amane while looking up into the dark night sky. "Don't you think it would be good if tomorrow just didn't come?"

      Y/n crawled out of the cave and sat next to Amane. She puts her hand on his cheek as she leaned her forehead against his. "You know Amane-kun, the two of us came together."

      "Under one dream." Y/n smiled. "To build a new tomorrow."

      Amane felt a wave of epiphany just by now.

      "Um, you have something above your lip." Y/n pointed out at the painted mustache on him. She handed Amane a mirror for him to check it out for himself.

      "What?!" He exclaimed as he wiped the paint using the back of his hand.

      Y/n's eyes went wide as she saw the sight of a floating paintbrush. It kept shaking side by side then swirled around Amane's face.

      "What are you?!" Y/n asked.

      The paintbrush went to the cave as it wrote something on it. "I am on your side. I will tell you how to escape from here."

      Y/n raised an eyebrow at the floating paintbrush. "A floating paintbrush shows up then tells you how to escape, seems legit."

      "This world is fake, you know that right?"

      "This situation sounds so shady I swear." Y/n shuddered.

      "There's nothing shady about it." the paintbrush wrote.

      "That's what a shady person would say!" Y/n protested.

      "Yeah that's right!" Amane added.

      "Oh? What are you kids doing?" Shijima-san pointed her flashlight towards the two.

      "Dashi run——I mean run way!" Y/n grabbed Amane as they ran away from her. The paintbrush suddenly splits the police Shijima-san crosswise.

      "Can you trust me now?"

      "Not bad for a paintbrush." Y/n nodded.

      "I know how to escape from here."

      "You don't have to kill anyone."

      "There's a door to the real world, if you can find it you can return where you come from."

      Y/n sat on her knees as she waited for further details from the paintbrush.

      "It is——"

      Amane grabbed the paintbrush and stared at it. "What the actual——?"

      "Hanako-kun?" she asked.

      Amane crushed the paintbrush using his fist as he let the pieces dangle to the ground. Y/n stood up. "What are you planning to do?" she asked.

      "Y/n."

      Amane grabbed Y/n's hand to pull him closer to her and give her a sleep induction. Luckily, she grabbed his wrist to prevent him from doing it. "Are you trying to make me sleep? For making me forget this?!"

      Then he uses his other hand to use it on her but Y/n grabbed it too. "Ha! Try me——mmph"

      Amane presses his lips against hers to make her stop from talking. Her eyes widened in shock and felt her whole face turn white.

      He slowly pulled away from her and presses two of his fingers to her forehead just before Y/n was snapped out of her trance.

      Y/n closed her eyes as she dropped to Hanako's arms.

My light is unreachable
I'm not brighter enough
Because of my light
I can't reflect you inside
