Bae pov: "Baeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!" Miori screamed as we continued to hurdle towards the doorway.

"How haven't we made it yet?" I screeched

"Because you have to let go of me!" Mio said

Shut it, I will never!" I yelled

"Bae Bae, we can't get out of this room together; we can't get to the exit in time; we are going to disappear. How many times do I have to tell you, please let go?" Miori yelled again.

"No, Miori, I will never let go of you!" I yelled

"You have to, Bae Bae!" Miori yelled

"Shut up, Mio!" I yelled

"Because I want to help you and stop you from being erased!" I yelled

"Well, maybe I don't want you to help me stop myself from being erased. Maybe I don't want your help, bitch!" Miori screamed

"Then don't disregard what I say. I know I abandoned you a long time ago and didn't help you when you needed me, but now I want to help you!" She yelled

"Well, maybe I don't want your help, bitch!" I screamed

"I'm going to help you!" I yelled

"No!!" Miori yelled

"Miori!! Miori... Miori... Miori... Miori!" I yelled Tears began to stream down my face rapidly. "Miori!" I screamed as we fell forward. "I won't lose you!" I yelled

"Bae, why are you so adamant about helping me? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why are you like this, Bae? Why save someone like me!!"Miori yelled

"I don't know, dumbass!" I yelled

"Dumbass!?" Miori yelled

"You are a dumbass!" I yelled

"Shut up, stupid!" Miori said to me

"Oh, Miori ran past me and requested that she be taken out of the world since you hate her." Mumei said

"Wait, you have an erasing cube." I said

"Yup," Mumei said.

"You are going to use it on her?" I asked

"I currently am, but you can stop it; you only have about a minute," Mumei said.

"Mumeiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!" I yelled

"What!?" The girl said as she showed up in the doorway.

"Deactivate the cube!" I said

"No," Mumei said.

"Why not!?" I asked

"We need to clear out this room anyway," she said.

"You don't want her help, Bae, so stop fucking around and quit acting like you want her help. Knock it off. You can't prove that you even care about her because you've been nothing but a jerk to her. You refuse to hear her out, and for what reason? Because she abandoned you once? She apologized for it, and you keep trying to throw her away. Mumei said

"I-Mumei, you always call me out. Why can't you side with me?" I asked

"Because you are so hung up on the wrong things, you don't see the bigger picture; you aren't fit to lead." Mumei said

"Mumei, take it back!" I screamed

This is how things are going to have to be. She won't let me win because she is my predator. I'm her prey. I don't know if this is going to be fun for both of us.

"Mumei, we need help. Please help us!" I yelled

"You ordered me to do so; therefore, it wouldn't be fun," Mumei said.

"But... nevermind..." Bae groaned

"You need to have some fun, Bae. I won't help you," Mumei said.

"What do you mean?" Bae asked

"Just try not to be erased," Mumei said.

"Tell me how to get away; you are the decision-maker, admit!" I yelled

"You are the leader of the council; stop being humble!" Mumei said

"You don't even believe that means anything." I sighed

"Yeah, I do!" Mumei sighed

Mumei really was getting on my case for no reason. Is she trying to help me gain some confidence back, but she just won't do anything that will help me?

"Help me!" I yelled

I looked for the brown-haired owl to no avail; she was gone without a trace, as if she were never there in the first place.

"What the hell, where did she go?" Miori asked

"You really have no idea what Mumei is capable of." I sighed

"Maybe I can figure it out. I'm smart, and I know you can come up with something since you're smart!" Miori said

"That ain't helping," I sighed.

"Seriously, and I genuinely came up with that compliment!" Miori sighed

"Just saying I'm smart doesn't help." I grumbled

Miori rolled her eyes in annoyance. "Why are you being so stubborn?"

"You are!" I yelled

"You really are something else, Bae." Miori sighed.

I grabbed Miori rougher, and we flew out of the doorway, rolling as the room vanished before us. She was actually going to kill us.

Mumei, why are you like this? What is the purpose of everything that is happening? I don't know.

"Miori, I will hear you out now," I said.

"Bae, can you repeat what you told me?" Miori asked

"Ugh- fine..." I growled, "Miori, I want to reconnect. I want to be your friend. I want to love you again. I want you to validate me. I want you to see me as I am now. I want you to love the current me. Love who you want to love. I'll love who I want to love too, but I'll have room for you. I won't be afraid anymore, Miori, so please open the door and come out. I'll let you kiss me too!" I yelled

Miori laughed and smiled before kissing me slightly. "It works," she told me.

That is interesting. Miori is now calm. Is this part of her plan? No, I can't act like I don't trust her. I have to show that I trust her because she is mad at me apparently still, but I don't know if that'll be necessary.

What the hell am I even thinking I don't think it is coherent at this point; it is annoying; it really doesn't work. All I need to figure this out is probably that it will work out in the end, I guess.
