Plans on Survival II

After a long walk, Seiya and those who tagged along finally arrived at the pharmacy. It was quite a distance from the abandoned building they had left behind, making the journey a slow one.

Standing concealed in the shadows across the street, they observed the pharmacy, silently watching as people entered and exited.

"How many are inside now?" Hayne asked.

Seiya, his eyes scanning through the building, responded curtly, "Five."

"That's a lot. Let's wait a little longer for a few more to leave," Hayne suggested.

After a while—

"How many now please?"

"One."

"He should get his ass out already!" Hayne snapped, drawing a surprised glance from both the boy from the second floor and Seiya. They had never heard him swear before.

Noticing their reactions, Hayne cast them a quick glance before averting his gaze with an awkward smile.
