Why?
Out of all the people that could have told, why’d it have to be him?
Well, who else could it have been? A voice in Harley’s head asked. A part of a fiancé’s job is to make sure the other isn’t “dangerous”.
He promptly told the voice to shut up before Tristan and Dionysius returned, and he could finally speak.
“The girl you just witnessed get Exiled was Chloe Blackwell, one of my classmates. The reason she was Exiled was because she admitted she was bisexual at a party.”
For a second, there was a shocked silence. Harley continued.
“Her fiancé, Blake, was the one who reported him. They were already dating and in a perfectly healthy romantic relationship, yet he exposed her for mentioning liking girls too.” He looked Dionysius directly in the eye. “Remind you of anyone?”
“What? I don’t—“ Dionysius froze, the realization dawning on him. “…Oh.”
“Dio, what’s he talking about?” Estelle asked.
“He’s saying…” He hesitated. “He’s saying it could happen to him, too.”
Harley shook his head. “Not just me, Dio. It could happen to any of us. All of us are at risk. But I am currently at risk of Exile, since I told Blake I was bisexual about a month ago.”
“That’s why you weren’t at the Exile,” Cynthia realized. “So no one would see you.”
Harley nodded. “We aren’t safe here. None of us. So Millie and I have proposed the idea of running away.”
Estelle nearly choked on air.128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jBLLIFySF
“That’s impossible!” Tristan bolted to his feet, causing multiple strangers to shush him at once. He sat back down, his face flushed.
“It’s hard to believe, I know. But it can be done. Millie and I have already found out where we can get out, but we’re yet to figure out how, or where we’ll go after we escape.”
“Wait, wait, wait.” Dionysius interrupted. “I get it. You’re probably gonna get Exiled. But how on Neo-Earth could we possibly get out? This place was literally made to be inescapable!”
“Well, there is no direct exit,” Millie said. “But there is an entrance. And if something can get in here…”128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDniTKD3RJ
“…something can get out.” Cynthia finished.
Harley pointed at her. “Bingo. And that something is us.”
“How do you expect us to do that?” Estelle asked.
“As of now, I don’t know. But working on the plan as soon as possible would be the best idea. Millie and I will be doing most of the work, and I’m sure that a majority of our free time would be spent at Millie’s apartment, working on the plan. Does that work for you all?”
“Wait,” Dio said. “So we’re actually doing this?”
Harley nodded. “Any objections?”
No one said anything.
“All right.” Millie clapped her hands. “Clear your schedules, everyone. We’ll be spending the day at my apartment.”
