Kuro: We sincerely apologize for lack of updates. *Bows*
Kurochibara: This is due to our inability of finding a proper laptop to update on. *Bows*
Kuro: The use of our PsVita had proven to be useless in this and therefore made updates even more so difficult.
Kurochibara: We hope that you stick with us even through our slow progression.
Both: Thank you~

They fallen into a dark alleyway, garbage littered the narrow area from overflowing from the large road trash cans. Her eyes fluttered open as she realized that something, or rather someone had cushioned her fall. She scrambled off, muttering incoherent apologies as she stood. She looked down worriedly at Mori who had begun to sit up, rubbing his head.
"Are you alright?"
She then asked, swallowing a thick lump in her throat as she reached out an arm to help him up. Taking it, he nodded.
"You're light"
He said as he began to dust himself off. She looked down at herself before doing the same. She looked around her now in new curiosity of where Cosmos had sent them.
"Love is difficult in this one."
Her words had resonated in her head. She frowned and began to make her way out of the alleyway, a familiar sight coming into her view. Was she sent back home? With Mori? She furrowed her brows as she strode further out. Tokyo's night lights illuminated most of the city streets as cars sped passed them.
"Tokyo?"
Mori had questioned from behind her, staring up at the skyscrapers in sight. His brows furrowed in similar confusion. They shared a look before walking across the street to make their way to the city centre. She needed to figure out where they were exactly. What if it was dangerous? She looked around as she passed a few corner shops before remembering she had no money on her. She muttered a curse, looking up at her companion.
"Do you have any money on you...?"
She asked in hopes that he did. She knew that he was rich, and seeing as they were stranded at the moment, they needed what he had to survive. He tapped his back pocket and nodded in assurance that his wallet was with him. She sighed in relief as they then continued on to the city centre. They walked in silence, keeping their eyes out for any clues. She was unsure if Mori would know about the anime worlds, seeing as he was a part of one. She had yet told them that she had practically watched their lives in the form of a Japanese animated show. She didn't even know whether he'd believe her if she told him all his life had merely been a show to her before meeting them. Would he hate her? Would he no longer want to help her? She looked down in a grimace. She never imagined that even thinking of him leaving her after everything would hurt her so much. She shakily sighed, trying to calm herself down.
"You're strong Kuro...Stay strong...you've gotten used to being alone before, you can get back to it if it were to happen again..."
She thought to herself yet it did little to reassure her. She then shook the thoughts out of her head, deciding she couldn't tell him when she felt a large warm palm on her left shoulder. She snapped out of her thoughts and turned to look up at him. He held a look of concern.
"Are you Ok?"
Swallowing a lump in her throat, she nodded and faked a smile. This caused him to frown but let her go anyways, thinking she needed some time due to being transferred twice away from her comfort.
"You can talk to me anytime...I'll always be there to listen."
He said. He felt the need to make it clear to her that she was not alone in this and that he would help her no matter what. She was surprised by this for she knew how Mori could get if separated from Honey, yet he seemed he was holding up well.
"Same to you...I know you're worried for honey Senpai..."
She told him casually, shying her previous thoughts away as she tried to focus on the present. She noticed his eyes widening for a fraction of a second before returning to how they were. With a soft and rare smile, he then ruffled her hair before staring back up ahead. She did the same.
They had reached the city center. People were buzzing about even in this late evening, going to and from places and still open shops that lit up the area. She stopped, glancing around in hopes of finding a good hotel they could both stay in for a while. She hated crowds, and somehow they managed to mingle with many of them. Mori kept his gaze on her, careful not to lose her within the crowd.
"Criminals around the world are being murdered by a serial killer."
She heard in the background, her eyes widened as she looked up to a large screen displaying the news on one of the buildings. It had yet to hit her as she stared blankly at the screen, trying to process and listen in to what he was saying. It was familiar. She knew she saw it somewhere. But where? Anime? Yes...She took a deep breath as she tried to drown out the crowds constant mumbling of voices to focus on the screen. Mori noticed her new interest and followed her gaze. Everything seemed to happen in a blur. Her eyes widened as the reporter suddenly clutched at his chest after his speech, collapsing limply soon after. A heart attack. A large calligraphic letter appeared on the screen and a new distorted voice spoke.
"...L..."
The letter tumbled from her lips. Her mouth agape. Out of all worlds, this one? She grit her teeth. She knew then that more was to come.
Kuro: Um...Yeah...this was mostly a small intro of the next world.
Kurochibara: ...We're going to die...
Kuro: Ahaha...No you're not...
Kurochibara: Yes we are...
Kuro: Not! *Flails arms*
Kurochibara: We're in that anime of all anime!
Kuro: Hahaha! I'm sure y'all can make plenty of guesses where they landed eh? Y'all probably know where they are anyways.
Kurochibara: Enjoy watching me suffer.
Kuro: Stop being such a drama queen!
~Screen goes black~
