Just as the pair introduces themselves, the light suddenly flicks on unexpectedly, "That isn't good…" Haru says with a worried tone.
"Pfft! Don't worry, we'll be fine" Piero replies, simply shrugging off the idea.
"But they'll punish us for trying to escape! Why are you so calm about this?!" He insists while going into a whole panic.
"You're overthinking it" She teased as they turn their back to Haru and walk towards the door.
"I'm not overthinking it, I'm just thinking logically!" Haru states while starting to pace around the room worriedly.
"Oh, so if you're thinking logically does that mean that I'm speaking irrationally?!" She shouts as they turn around to look at Haru seeming annoyed.
"Yes, yes, you are!" Haru shouts back, starting to get annoyed as well, "You need to use logic or else plans are going to fail!"
"No, thanks, I prefer to wing it when it comes to my choices," Piero states loudly while glaring at Haru.
"That will get you killed one day, you know!" Haru says while picking up a pillow and throwing it at them.
And as if in queue Piero's door opens and an armed guard walks in, When the guard spots the scene they just walked into they shout "HEY! WHAT'RE YOU DOING IN HERE?!"
Taken aback by the sudden arrival of the guard, Haru stands there like a deer in headlights, not sure what to do. When Piero suddenly shouts, "RUN! THE DOORS UNGUARDED!" while taking a run for the door.
"What?!" Haru says, seeming shocked at even the thought of actually escaping. Piero gets a bit annoyed that he's ruining their only chance at possibly being able to escape, so he grabs Haru's wrist and drags them out while the guard is still in a daze, and slams the door shut behind them both. Haru gets to his feet and looks around, he's never seen a room apart from his own, so the boring plain hallway with several locked metal doors seems magical to him, as he stands there admiring his surroundings Piero breaks the silence, "Someone will find them at breakfast, it's time to leave." She states while looking back at the fire exit.
"B-But he'll recognize us!" Haru stutters worriedly while turning to look back at Piero, they lock eye contact.
"You're such a worry pot," She says without hesitation while walking towards the fire exit with Haru's wrist still in their grip.
"Do you mind letting me go?" Haru mumbles, "I have legs too…"
"Yes, I do mind because you'll chicken out" Piero replies while tightening their grip in case Haru tries to make a run for it and escape.
"What are we even going to do when we escape? We have nowhere to sleep, eat or drink! Those are vital things we all need to survive!" Haru insists. By this time, he's already overthinking the entire situation and worrying about everything. After a small pause, Piero finally states, "I think we need money for that."
"What's money?" Haru immediately says, seeming perplexed by what they meant.
"It seems you're a goody two shoes, ever tried to escape? I highly recommend it unless you want to get sold off, if you do then feel free to walk back into your cell" Piero replies cockily.
"Well, I'm sorry, but I don't make a habit of attempting to escape…" Haru mumbles, seeming annoyed while kicking a paper ball across the floor,
"What do you mean attempt? I escape every time!" Piero snapped.
"Sure you do," She replied, "They'd have killed you by the time they'd have caught you."
Piero looks Haru dead in the eyes and states without a single hint of hesitation, "32 dead, 0 found." Haru suddenly stops walking and looks at Piero like they're some vermin, He hesitates before finally hissing "You're a monster! How could you kill them?!"
Piero looks at Haru in disbelief, there was a deafening silence." I'm ditching you," She mutters, "Escape by yourself." She shoves Haru right to the floor, accompanied by a loud 'THUMP!' As they hit the floor and Haru can only watch while Piero sprints for the exit. After a moment of shock, he finally gets up, "WAIT! I'M SORRY!" He exclaims while frantically running to get to the door, but instead it whacks him right in the face and slams shut, causing the entire building to shake by the force of the door. He staggers back and opens the door, "I deserved that…" They mumble.
Piero notices that Haru has caught up and gets up off the grass and starts running again, but Haru was too fast and tackled Piero to the floor, "I'm sorry." He insisted while sounding genuine, but Piero only shoves them off and laughs. "Do you have a death wish or something?" They snigger while kicking Haru off, blood drips down Haru's mouth, and they look up at Piero, "I didn't mean it…" But it was too late, Piero gets up and grabs the collar of his shirt and lifts him to the sky, Haru looks down and sees a gun underneath Piero's jacket for a split second, and they start panicking knowing that Piero could easily shoot him whenever they want and start struggling. But this only made her angrier, and she punches Haru around the face and drops him.
Haru coughs up some blood and tries to wipe it away, he staggers to their feet and attempts to say something, but they're too weak to even protest. Haru crumples to the ground like a rag doll.
