Amber eyes glinted in the darkness.
It's not over yet...
A hand reached out to me, and I took it.
I'm not done. This can't be my fate...I won't be trapped here. I need to escape...
The darkness was almost overwhelming.
No. I'm not going to give in again. I'm going to keep going, because it'll be worth it. It'll be worth it when I escape.
Suddenly, the darkness faded, and warm green eyes stared down at her.
"H-huh... ...?"
Sitting up, I saw the face properly.
"V-Viola...? What're you doing here?!"
Viola smiled. "I stayed. I let Mary take my place, so that she could be happy."
"B-but didn't you hate it here?" I whispered.
"Yes. And I wanted to be with Ellen. But Mary...I don't know. She was all alone down here for so long..."
I nodded. Viola has a point.
"So they all escaped?"
The other girl nodded.
"Good. I don't want them to get hurt..."
"You plan on getting out of here, don't you?" Viola whispered.
I sighed. "Yes. I can't stay here, can I? It doesn't feel right."
"No matter what it takes?"
"No matter what," I confirmed.
Viola looked away. "I suppose we'd better look around for the time being. This place is so huge, we can't have explored all of it yet..."
No matter what happens, no matter what it takes, I will escape this place.
I can't stay here forever, that's not right.
I need this. I need to get out of here.
So...I'm not done here. Far from it, in fact.
For Misao, I must keep going. I can't give up.
It's not over yet.
