After running non-stop, I stop and lean against the wall. I breathe heavily as I try to calm down and rest to regain energy. Those… things just came out of nowhere. Why did it happen? This wasn’t supposed to happen! This isn’t how I hoped the family trip would go… I breathe in and out to calm myself.

I can complain about how everything went wrong later. Right now, I need to find Mashiro so we can find Kashi and Ayumi, and get out of here together. Thankfully, I saw them both together before we got separated. Kashi, Ayumi. Just hang on. Your father and I are coming. I say with determination. We’ll find you both. I promise…
