There’s a bomb in the apartment.
You knew about it, you always had. You helped get it installed, to fit her specifications. It was a necessity for security, something she wanted for her apartment. You had trusted her, and had set all the pieces into place without complaint.
But...time had passed. Things had changed in ways you never thought they would.
The girl you were slowly coming to love has a bomb in her apartment.
She doesn’t even know. You watch through cameras, unblinking eyes into her life—she knows you are there, she waves to you—but there is a bomb in the apartment.
The girl you love is sitting on a bomb, and you aren’t doing anything about it.
You can’t disable it, you can’t go against Rika and V’s orders, you can’t—all you can do is work, but...
She is sitting on a bomb, and until now, upon being in love with her, you didn’t care. You accepted the truth, the secrets, the necessity of danger. You were so familiar with it, it felt no different than breathing.
But...
There’s a bomb in the apartment with the girl you love, and all you do is sit on your computer.
You work until you drop.
