"Kazuya." I say suddenly. "Yes..?" He questions, most likely confused by me talking out of nowhere. "I'll be leaving this town tomorrow," I start. "I won't be coming back." "Well- Then take me with you!" Kazuya exclaims. "Why?" I ask calmly. "Uh, well, because we're friends aren't we?" He questions, yet sounding unsure of everything he's saying. "I suppose, if that's what you think." I state. "Wait, so then you'll actually take me with you?!" He shouts, seemingly excited and smiling. "I will." I say. I hate having to lie to him, even though I've only known him a week. I know I can't take him with me.
Waking up, I look out the window of the shabby hotel room I'm staying in and check the time on a brightly lit neon sign inside of an old-style restaurant. 12:03am, the perfect time. I sit up on the old and hard mattress I was previously sleeping on. It's time to get a move on. I look to Kazuya, who's still asleep on a separate mattress. He decided to sleep here tonight because he thought that we'd leave together in early morning, as I said we would. I'm sorry, Kazuya, I hate to lie to you, but I'll be taking my leave without you.
