We decided to go to the city once more, I don't know what we can do anymore. I continue because of Churiel, Changel and Armoni.

I really didn't expect Armoni to be someone I could count on, but I'm glad she is. My phone ring, I got a new message.

"Seven day left, 5 souls left."

Five, we're only five. How many deaths were my fault? How many friends have I lost? When we get to the city, we see a gigantic slime. I think it's the same Angel and I fought, but it's out of control now.

"Why are you smiling? You like the destruction?"

"No, I got reminded of my friend."

"What we do now?"

"I think we should try to see the others, maybe some of the survivor have ideas?"

"I don't think it's a good idea, but fine."

We wander in the city, while making sure we dodge the slime. If people dodges it too, it will be hard to find anyone.

We searched for places where we could find anyone, but there was nobody. We heard an explosion. There's slime that falls on the ground, something made it explode.

"We need to see what happened."

Armoni doesn't seem as decided as I am.

"I don't think it's a good idea."

"You have a better idea?"

"No, you're right. Let's go."

"（ΟΔΟ；）"

There are two persons, a girl and a man, both around 20.

"Look sister, we managed to lure someone."

"You survived for a while, you have my congratulation. But your life ends here."

"Be careful Noah, everything she touches become an explosive. And he makes things go back in time."

"You know an awful lot, but you won't have anybody to tell this secret anymore."

She throws a rock at us, we both hide to find cover. Armoni gave up her knife to take Joseph's gloves, so we have no way to attack them from far away aside from my gun, but I won't be able to hit both of them. The rock exploded, and then it started to reform itself and return to her hand. Is that the power to make everything go back in time?

"You can't hide forever."

She throws another rock, I take a risk and kick it to make it return to them. But after it end up in front of them, the rock goes back to where I am. I take cover before he goes to me again.

"The terrain is getting unstable, if we don't do something quick we'll be in trouble."

"Noah, there's a building behind them. If we manage to make it collapse we may have a chance!"

So we'd need to use one of their explosions to make it collapse? It could work but it will be hard.

"You can't escape, the victory is ours!"

"Wait, maybe we can talk."

She throws another rock at us, they don't want peace I think. The explosion is deafening, I can't talk with Armoni like that, she's too far away. She throws another rock, I kick it to the wall behind this time. At the same time, I fire my gun toward the guy.

"You won't be able to stop both!"

He uses his power on my bullet, making it travel back to me. The rock explode and make the building behind them collapse partly. One time wasn't enough, and now I can't shoot anymore.

"I guess you tried your best, now it's time to finish it!"

She throws plenty of things she had in her pocket, I try to hide, but the explosion was too big, and my revolver was blown away.

"What are you gonna do without your weapon? Cry?"

I wanted to answer, but I see Armoni behind them, with the gloves that she got from Joseph. She punches the wall of the building, making it collapse on them. They barely had time to react.

It took me a minute to process what happened. Is Armoni under the debris? I have to help her, I can't lose her too!

I did my best to remove as much as I can, I finally saw her. She definitely isn't okay, but at least she's alive.

"Armoni! That was so dangerous!"

"Scary 〣( ºΔº )〣"

"Noah?.. You really tried to save me?"

"I won't let go like that."

"I think it's too late for me sadly, the first time I die is because I trusted someone. Ironic, isn't it?"

"What do you mean? You just need rest."

She points at her glasses, what's left of it at least. It's shattered and half of it is missing.

"We can't last more than ten minutes without it, it's the rule."

I can't believe it. Joseph... And now Armoni too? She takes something out of her pocket.

"Take it, it's all yours now."

It's Changel, I was about to take her, but she made a loud sound before I take her.

"I do not want!（＞д＜)"

"What do you mean? I created you... You should listen to me."

"I have traveled enough, we started together and will end together. (۶•̀ᴗ•́)۶"

"Ha, Angel really got a new personality with you."

Armoni has a smile on her face, it's not arrogant or pretentious. It's the first time I really see her smile.

"Change of plans... I'll keep Changel with me, You can keep Churiel."

"I will."

"That is right!"

"Noah, there's only one person left. You can end the game. Whoever win is forced to play the game again, until death. Please... End the eternal loop."

I hold her hand, she stopped moving, Changel shut down too.

I stand up slowly, I don't know what I should do. I really don't know.

I lost Uriel while she tried to save me. Angel found her end in a desert, alone. Joseph fought until the very end. And Armoni gave me all of her hopes.

I take Uriel's plush, Lily. It slowly crumbles into dust in my hand.

"Noah, can you hear me?"

Churiel is talking, but not with her usual cute voice. She sound like Uriel!

"Uriel? Is it you ?! Please tell me it's really you!"

"I am sorry if I am bringing back bad memories, but my life came to an end if you hear this. It is a pre-recorded message."

Oh, that make sense... For a moment I really thought she was back.

"I asked Armoni to create a small robot that will deliver this message when my heart has disappeared. I imagine you know what I told her, but there's something you should know. I do not know why you possess a different weapon than us, or why only you got a phone. But I think you can end it all, no, I am sure. I wish to ask you something, when everything will be over, please go see my sister. Her replica is destroyed, but she is still in the real world. I want you to help her, deliver her from the same fate I had. And also, I love you, Noah."

Uriel... I swear that I'll end this game. I grab my gun back and check my phone.

"Only two souls left."

I don't understand why, but My heart is set now. I may look alone, but I'm not. All the persons that helped me are here, in my heart. I feel different now, thanks to them.

"I believe!"

"I do too, Churiel."

I walk to the center of the city, there's someone here. It's a little kid, around 8.

"Can you help me? I'm searching my parents."

I point my gun at him.

"No innocent soul could survive in this game, you better reveal me your real identity. Now."
