[🔁 Time Loop AU]

It never ended.

All she could see was blood. All she could feel was a warm hand turning cold in hers as tears fell.

A second explosion filled her ears as she woke up in bed again, heaving breaths as she looked around. Everything was at it should be. Again.

Her mother calls her for what seems like her 10th breakfast of eggs and bacon, reminding her about the roast they'll have for dinner that evening. Again.

As Masumi puts on her uniform afterwards, slipping into her shoes, a familiar voice calls to her from outside.

"Yo, Masu-chan! Hurry up, we can't keep Koichi and Okuyasu waiting!"

A cold chill went up her back, replacing the warm fuzz she used to feel hearing Josuke's voice. As she greeted him and they began to walk, her mind went into overdrive wondering what to do...

Walking to school with him like this ended up the same way. Telling him to go on without her and she'd catch up did too. So did being a little late or a little early.

It all started after accidentally running into a business man the other day while looking for the serial killer on the loose in Morioh.

Maybe a shortcut will do it, she thinks as she pulls Josuke towards another way with the excuse of having enough time, taking a scenic route.

Once more there's an explosion that rings out, getting the boy's attention and rushing them to the scene.

Like clockwork, a young boy appears in their view after, yelling for help as the other two they were going to meet appear too.

And once more...Masumi can only watch as the others suddenly spontaneously combust, her hand holding Josuke's as the life fades from his eyes and tears form in hers.

The last thing she sees is a pink cat-like creature in the eyes of the youngest boy's body, a second explosion filled her ears as she woke up in bed again, heaving breaths as she looked around. Everything was at it should be. Again.
