Haruka jogged as fast as she could, trying to get there before midnight; her backpack, filled with as much survival gear she could think of, bounced up and down with each step she took.

She would have left earlier, really. But convincing her parents to let her go had taken longer than usual; she had to spin a lie about a sleepover, and she prayed that her parents wouldn't look through her bag.
