Night 30: Main Hallway, 1-East

[screwthegods]

[From here]

Homura had to pause for a moment when he came to the main hall, just long enough to grit his teeth against the pain. His eyes were never still, however, his guard never lowered as he lingered. One minute, two, then onward, refusing to delay any longer than absolutely necessary.

He hated being this way.

Yukari stopped right beside him. She, on the other hand, didn't echo Ken's actions and look down at him; instead, she stared at the battle going on in surprise. It was hard not to watch them-- if there was a monster involved, then the scene would have made sense, but weren't they all people?

She was hesitant to go out into the hallway, but they had to move on somehow. Being able to do something would have been another concern, but they looked to be really at it, and she... well, without her equipment, she was nearly rendered useless when it came to fighting.

Nodding her head in the direction they were headed, Yukari finally spoke up for the first time since they left the room; "C'mon-- we gotta be careful."

From the tone and the words, Yukari seemed intent on moving on, leaving the battle to the current participants. Though Ken could understand the logic behind it, a part of him wanted to ensure they were all right on their own. Leaving people to their own devices simply did not seem right.

Thus, when Yukari spoke, Ken momentarily withheld a breath. "Okay," he finally whispered. It would be difficult to avoid potential crossfire, but if the two moved fast enough, they could reach the end of the hall void of action.

He peeked through and when the moment was right, ran.
