Kakeru does not know how long he’s been running.
It feels nonstop, these days, since the world ended -- a constant endless road of time, advancing onward, without interruption or change. He runs, he forages for some resources so he can keep running, he takes a short rest (you can’t rest for long, not any more) and then he keeps running.
It’s almost dusk, and he’s running along a railroad (long and flat, good line of sight) when he comes across a body lying across it. This isn’t unusual anymore (he misses when it was) until he realizes the body is moving, chest gently rising and falling with breath, inhaled and exhaled, slowly and with effort.
He assumes the body is dying.
He almost keeps running, but Haiji’s words echo loudly in his head as he passes (“you’re not actually alone, you’re always with someone else”) and he is reminded that he used to have people around him, running with him, and they would have stopped for him, always. So with an ache in his chest he slows down, and doubles back.
“You okay?”
He knows the second the words are out of his mouth that it’s an idiotic question -- none of them are okay.
The person on the side of the road shifts slightly, eyes flickering open in a glare -- a pathetic one -- before he closes them again, waving him off. “Go away. I give up, just leave me alone.”
Kakeru feels the words charging through his head, destroying his train of thought, throwing him off-balance. They sound familiar, and his reaction to them is sudden and intense.
“No,” is all he says, and he sees Haiji’s face, his smile, before leaning down to haul the stranger to his feet.
“Hey,” he says, swatting at him. “Don’t you listen?”
“No,” Kakeru says again, and starts walking, pulling the stranger along with him. “I’m not leaving you here, so come on.”
“I’m just dead weight,” the stranger says, strawberry hair falling into his eyes as he slumps, sweat pouring down his face, his feet dragging as he shuffles down the road, pulled along by Kakeru. “I’m done.”
“One more mile,” Kakeru says, still holding firm to his upper arm. “Let’s just go for one more mile.”
The stranger looks up at him, frowning. “Why do you even care? You have no idea who I am. You could easily keep going and just let me do what I want.”
“He’d be disappointed if I did that,” Kakeru says quietly, but after a few more steps, pauses, and finally lets go. “But I guess I can’t make you do anything. I’m going to go one more mile, and I think you should, too.”
“I can’t,” the stranger laments, but he’s still standing, and has his hands in his hair, distress obvious in the tense line of his shoulders.
“You can,” Kakeru says, and pauses, looking back at him. Waiting.
The stranger lets out a whine, and then sighs, and slowly looks up at Kakeru, searching his face for something. Kakeru waits.
He turns with a shake of his head and looks for a moment like he’s going to go back to the spot where Kakeru found him, but then he stops, groans, and turns back to face Kakeru.
“One mile,” he says, and Kakeru nods, and starts walking, and slowly, the stranger starts to move, trailing after him.
“I’m Kakeru,” Kakeru says, eyes fixed on the road ahead of him.
“Akane. But my f-- I went by Prince, before. I guess.”
“Okay,” Kakeru says, and they keep walking, and as it starts to get darker, Kakeru can see the tiny lights of fireflies blinking on and off along the bushes to the side of the road, and Kakeru can’t help but feel like they’re lighting the way, ushering them on.
Just one more mile, and just one after that.
Maybe, eventually, they’ll find answers, if they just keep going.

i.
the sky is violent
we’re used to it
the bloody streaks
obscuring the stars
were once frightening
but now,
they’re almost comforting
ii.
we don’t talk about before
though i still think about it
every day we walk past
the old railroad tracks
the metal is rusting and
barely visible through the weeds
do you remember?
you used to walk on the rails
and i used to worry you’d fall
iii.
the rain is dangerous
we both flinch when we hear thunder
i used to love thunderstorms
and you used to smile
at how excited i was
over something simple as the rain
but now,
the rain could kill us both
iv.
we might not be the same people
as we were when before ended
i try my best not to
but sometimes i miss before
even though we’re closer now
the world isn’t a good place
do you remember?
you used to doubt your every move
and i used to worry you’d get tired of me
v.
the air is sweltering
we both long for the end of summer
the only good things
are the nights of fireflies
dancing with the stars
we used to love the winter
but now,
we know that winter is hard to survive
vi.
we used to dream of the future
i remember every conversation
we didn’t realize we were just children
until we had to grow up
even now i hold on to those dreams
and i pretend that we’re alright
do you remember?
you used to talk about running away
building a new life far from here
and i used to worry you’d leave me behind
vii.
the sky is violent
we’re used to it
we’re used to a world
of death and decay
our old worries seem silly now
i was insecure about my freckles
you couldn’t forgive your brother
for lying to you
but now,
we both mourn your brother
and our only worry
is staying alive
viii.
we used to dream of the future
but we don’t talk about before
even so,
do you remember?
every weekend spent at the old railroad tracks
you used to walk on the rails
and i used to worry you’d fall
and we’d dream about running away
