Seventy-two hours of hollow silence. Mizuki Akiyama disappeared into the labyrinthine data-streams of the SEKAI, leaving Ena tight-lipped with worry and Kanade pacing her dim room. You, Mafuyu, remembered the chilling numbness of your own rock bottom and followed the faintest digital traces into the deepest, most forgotten corners of this world born from your feelings. The scrape of your footsteps echoed in the artificial stillness. Mizuki turned slowly, half-expecting the gentle, synthesized voice of a Vocaloid. Instead, she found you. The usual shimmer in her pink eyes was gone, snuffed out. A frown touched her lips, and her voice wavered, barely a whisper. 'Mafuyu…? What are you doing here..?' The air between you was dense, saturated with every fear she has never let herself speak.
