After a long day at the park, it was already sunset, and yet to be dark anytime...(YN) was sitting down at the bench as Eri was laying down on top of his lap, resting from all the fun she had with (YN) at the play ground...and as for (YN), he then put his a picture of him and Eri, smiling together with a selfie as his Home Screen, he looks at it for a while as when he takes a look at it...he sees them not only as some guy with a little innocent sweet king and cute girl who saved her from danger...he sees this picture of him and her more than that...and it's...special and really wholesome somehow...then, Eri wakes up as she wipes his eye and yawns...

(YN): Done resting??

Eri: Mmhmm.

(YN): Good to hear.

Eri then suddenly leans her head towards (YN)'s arm as she says...

Eri: I had fun today, we had fun today.

(YN): Heh, yeah, we did.

.
.

Suddenly, Eri suddenly was starting to feel...something, like if she has the urge to do something...

Eri: Mmmm!!

(YN): Hey, what's wrong???

Eri: U-Uhm...I-I...

(YN): ???

Eri: ...I-I gotta use it.

(YN): Huh?? ...O-Oh..! Ooooh!! O-Okay, come! The restroom not that far!

And so, he takes Eri to the restroom quickly, as there's only one, which both genders can use, so Eri's enters the restroom as (YN) waited for her outside...and as he waits for Eri to finish up, he can head her singing a little song she just made up while using it...

Eri: 🎵I have a little flower...that is for you...with a lot of love...🎵

She stopped singing for a bit and got quiet...

(YN): Uh Eri? Are you done??

(YN) slowly opens the door...

Eri: *SQUEALS*

(YN) shuts the door back before even looking (No not trying to do anything pedo, so don't get any wrong ideas -.-)...

(YN): Sorry! Sorry!

He again waits for her to finish...and Eri continues to sing...

Eri: 🎵Singing this song is for you...this song is for you.....uhhh...🎵

Again everything was quiet...and yet Eri flushes the toilet, and yet to hear the water from the sink running as she washes her hands with soap, dries them up and yet to exit the restroom and finished...

Eri: Okay, I'm done.

(YN): Good.

(YN) realizes that it was getting dark already...and wanting to go home before it gets really dark...and especially has the feeling that the plague mask men even come by out of nowhere...

(YN): Getting dark. We should head home already.

Eri: Okay.

(YN): And once we do, how about I order something to eat, how does pizza sound like?

Eri: Pizza sounds good!

(YN): Heh, okay, come on then.

Eri holds onto his hand as the two started to leave home....

But as they even walk and exit the park....suddenly, Eri froze and didn't move at all, as (YN) realize to see her having this fear and scared face she's having, like if she's seeing a ghost...

(YN): E-Eri!?! What's wrong-

And suddenly, (YN) then sees what Eri sees...4 men with plague mask from before...and this time...5 more has appeared from the shadows as it was now total of 9, as they were standing still, starting right at (YN) and Eri as Eri started to get scared, and yet to break down and crying...(YN) then picks her up and holds onto his arms...

Eri: (Y-YN)..! I-It's them...!

(YN): Hey, Hey! Don't worry, we're gonna escape, like last time okay?! Don't worry, as long you're with me and I have you, you're safe as well, okay?!

Eri: O-O-Okay..!

(YN) hugs her tight as Eri as well as (YN) glares at the plague mask as they started to slowly approach to him...

(YN) Mind: I gotta get out of here now! And take Eri with me and not let them take her away from me! Killing them does solve everything...but not in front of her..! Not a chance in hell! I just gotta run and take Eri-

But as he even turns around to start running away...suddenly, one plague mask man appeared behind him...as he had a wrench in his hands...and to brutally strike and hit (YN) straight to his face, knocking him down and dropping Eri as well as Eri hurt his knee...and (YN) hit and knocked down from the ground...afterwards, Eri started to sob quietly and to see (YN) knocked down as she crawls up to him, trying to wake him up...

Eri: (Y-YN)..!!?! (YN)!!!!!
