During the hike, Monika was running through the trail excitedly and pulled you along with her. You would occasionally glance over at Allen to see him trying to talk to Mom and Dad but they were busy watching Monika happily. You felt victorious upon seeing that. You figured now mom and dad wouldn't believe Allen if he told them Monika came from a game. Especially how Monika became so social with them and how she treated them. You could tell they liked her. Monika held your hand tightly as she ran up the trail and stopped when she saw the view the hike gave.

The view held the beach in the distance, along with the blue sky. It was a clear day for the beach. Along the side of the beach was the small village you were currently residing. She stared at the view in awe,

"..So this is what you see almost every day." Monika whispered. You looked at the view Monika was gazing at and nodded,

"Yeah." You nodded your head,

"I...It's beautiful." Monika's voice trembled just a little, her hand covered her mouth slightly. You looked over at her to see tears forming in her eyes. You squeezed her hand tight with your eyes narrowed.

"I will do whatever I can to have you see this every day. I swear." You bit your lip upon saying that. Monika looked at you with concern,

"But I don't want you to hurt yourself while doing so." She whispered.

"But I want you to be happy." You narrowed your eyes sadly.

"... y/n." Monika gave a small smile and looked down at your hand wrapped tightly around hers, as she squeezed her grip, ".....you being with me makes me happy enough." She whispered with a shaky voice.

"I know that but look at yourself sweetheart." You frowned, "Look on how happy and excited you are here! Ugh...I wish there was a way for you to permanently stay here....maybe if I-"

"No!" Monika shook her head rapidly and grabbed both your hands, "Don't even think on deciding to take out more blood for me." She figured out your little plan. You narrowed your eyes,

"Well how else am I going to have you-"

"I told you already y/n , I am happy the moment you look and talk to me." She repeated her words from earlier. You bit your lip and looked at the ground.

"....y/n please." Monika pleaded, her hands pulling your hand to her chest, "Listen to me. I want you to stay healthy, okay? Please don't make harsh decisions for me, it hurts." Monika spoke with reason. You did nothing but sigh, great. Now she's worried about you. Maybe it was best you didn't tell her how you get to her world as she does to yours because now she is focused on you staying healthy. As much as you hated to think of it, but Monika was right. After all Lollia warned you that if you use up too much blood there is a chance you can die of blood loss. Imagine Monika finding out you died for her. By thinking her reaction had your heart break. You looked at her with a saddened look,

"...Okay." You whispered and smiled when you saw Monika look relieved.

"Yoohoo!" Your mom called from behind, "you 2 better get a move on otherwise Allen will beat you to the top!"

"Oh dear we can't allow that." You shook your head, "I mean, if he reaches the top before us, he'll claim victory!"

"...And we can't allow him to grasp that now can we?" Monika's relieved look turned into a smirk. You smirked and nodded your head,

"After all, we are in the lead, aren't we?" You tilted your head, "We can't have a monster snatch our chance of victory."

Monika's smirk grew just a little as she nodded her head. "Come on then, let's get our victory." She took your hand and ran forward.
