The Future is Bleak...

Written by Zenith

Niko, Ruby, and Tonio clean up the kitchen as nighttime falls. The three do everything they can so that the diner is fresh and squeaky clean for the next day.

All of a sudden, a flash of light appears from the backroom, peaking the three’s interest. They all look at each other, confused.

They enter the backdoors and find Gandalf waiting idly behind the door. 

Gandalf leads them to the source of the light, finding out that there’s a man’s voice coming from contestant #4’s room. 

Ruby tries to reach for the door, but Okabe already opens it, only a portion of his head is peaking out. His eyes are afraid and unstable. 

Okabe then goes inside his room and starts preparing for the events in the near future, frantically going through everything in his room and searching for anything. It's almost as if he's preparing for an apocalypse. 

Okabe crumbles to the ground, knowing that the future is near impossible to escape from. Suddenly, a light brightens in Okabe's room, and Okabe looks in awe. Niko approaches, comforting him. 

Niko then touches Okabe’s head and pats him. The rest of the group also comfort him.

Gandalf reaches out his hand, and Okabe shakes it. Okabe then gets up, now with a stern and determined look in his eyes.
