Borderland (AIB)

When Nami woke up, it was quiet– too quiet.

"Guys?", Nami called.

She got no answer, stood up and a look out of the window told the young woman that she slept for longer than planned. 

"Guys?"

Again no answer.

Nami sighed and went into the area they used as a living room for the past few days.

"Hello?", she asked again and slowly started to worry.

She searched in every single one of the shops in the mall, but the others were nowhere to be found.

The young woman slowly realized that the others had gone to the game without her– but why?

And why were you not back yet? Did the game really take that long?

These and other questions went through the young woman head when she stepped up the stairs.

Nami wanted to pass the time and got two books, she always wanted to read, from the bookshop.

And as macabre it sounded, now she had the time.

She threw her bag onto the table, blowing a piece of paper off the table.

Nami didn't remember that someone from the group wrote a note.

She picked it up and read it.

LETTING YOU SLEEP. DO NOT WORRY. SEE YOU  IN A MINUTE. 

Nami scoffed and put the note back on the table.

In moments like this she hated that Arisu, Korube and Chota were so protective over her.

Which was probably because Nami was the youngest.

But she still could have helped them.

The game probably wasn't be that difficult, right?

Well, if the game was so simple, the others would have been back long ago.

Nami shook her head and tried to suppress these thoughts.

The game only lasted a very long time.

That could happen, the young woman tried to calm herself down and remembered a game Monopoly where the four had been sitting for a whole weekend.

When Nami woke up, it was quiet– too quiet.

She usually woke up when Takumi became awake and started screaming.

She got up and a look out of the window told the young woman that she had slept longer than planned.

She threw a look at her alarm clock– she slept for almost five hours.

She sighed and shook her head slightly. The boys should have woken up about four hours ago.

Nami left her room and went towards the living room.

There she stopped at the door.

Arisu and Karube were sleeping on the couch and Chota told Takumi, which happened to him at work in the past few days.

"– And I'm sure ny boss wasn't happy about it, because he left a note on my desk the next day. But what do you think?"

He looked to the four-month-old boy, who did fall asleep in the meantime.

"Of course", Chota said and added a mumbled, "Just like your mother".

"I heard that."
