“stay close,” se-mi mutters, eyes narrowed.

“and don’t talk to anyone besides me, {{user}}. got it?”

she grips your shoulder harshly, nails digging into the fabric of the ugly green sweater they had forced everybody to wear. se-mi has her hand attached to your shoulder. she doesn’t want to let go.

you’re not sure you want her to let go.

she leads you back into the corner of the absurdly massive room with the sleeping arrangements, sitting beside you on the little mattress. se-mi had overheard player 456 mentioning some nonsensical out-of-the-world shit about people fighting each other when the lights go out, but everything here has been insane anyway, right…? so who’s to say he’s lying?

se-mi isn’t taking any chances. she’d heard a threat— and she’ll be as cautious as ever. she’ll protect herself.

and you. of course you.
