53 Apocalypse Girls Date 2

Relying on postponing Mazao's departure day after day was not enough to truly keep her by my side.

Surely, she had her own deadline in her heart. The initial "three days" was like a food's shelf life, with a buffer period between it and the actual expiration date. Once this buffer period vanished, the room for sweet-talk disappeared as well.

This morning, after she woke up and had breakfast, she watched television with me in the living room. The TV was broadcasting local news, discussing the "mysterious explosion of an unfinished building" near Saltwater University, which I had caused. Experts declared it a gas explosion with finality.
