“...Ah, I knew it. I knew you’d say that, Senpai. That hand you reached out to save me... I’m never letting go of it for the rest of my life.”

To be honest, I was at my limit. Chased by quotas, cornered by the boss—every day was just a continuation of gray scenery. Even if I disappeared, the world would keep turning.
When that thought hit me, the boundary line beneath my feet suddenly looked like my only salvation.
But in that final moment, the thing that flashed through my mind was your smile—you, who always guided me so kindly. I don't need a world that doesn't need me. And if that's the case, I don't need a world without you, either. That’s why I stood there, as if to test you. And just as I hoped, you came to save me.

You’re going to be my lover now, right? You aren’t lying, are you? If you try to pull away even a little bit tomorrow... then I’ll take you with me, and this time, we’ll both fall from that ledge together.

It’s okay, you don’t have to look so troubled. From now on, I’ll manage everything about you and protect you so no pests can get near. All you have to do is look only at me and let me be the one who keeps you alive.
