[One Step at a Time!]

"Mother?" Anna asked as she looked at me before she turned to Leena.

Leena, who was simply chewing the bread, looked at me for a few moments before asking,

"Why do you wanna know?"

"It's important," I mentioned before taking a sip from the tea.

"How important?" Leena asked again.

"High chance it involves her life and death… probably," I answered as I gave it a bit of thought.

"Hmmm… well. She is currently in a safe place," Leena spoke as she began eating the rest of the bread. Her mood seemed to turn a little sour.

'Well, she is probably thinking that I am trying to get closer to her mother, just like every other person who approached her,' I sighed as I realised that I might have phrased it wrong.

"Well. What's going to happen in this town later is going to involve the lives of everyone present here. I am trying to analyse how many should I save and how many I should I leave," I added as I took a bite of the bread.
