Chapter 6 — No One Leaves Alone

Sara Redmere wakes before sunrise in a world that still does not make sense.

Riku is home. His parents are alive. The apartment is safe.

But Sara cannot ignore the truth cutting beneath all of it: because she followed him, Riku’s return has become more dangerous, more complicated, and harder to explain.

So Sara does what she has always done when staying feels impossible.

She prepares to leave.

But Riku Hayashi has learned something from her.

If someone can still be saved, you do not leave them behind.

And in this world or any other, no one leaves alone.
