Location: Fujimi Academy's storage facility.

Later on at night...

The bitter taste of being through the woes of waking up became more and more apparent to Takashi Komuro as his limbs refused to cooperate with him, the feeling of tiredness washed over him as his eyes began to open slowly.

His hair falling in-front of his face as he began to sat up, his eyes refused to stay open as the teenage boy had to keep blinking consistently to keep his eyes awake. The fire in the middle of the room was still going of course, although Takashi noticed that it had long been fading these past few hours now, the fire lit up the room enough for Takashi to see the sleeping faces of some of his friends around the room as they all scattered in their own bed ware of course.

'Well it looks like we are able to get some rest without being disturbed in the slightest, good thing we will be fresh to go tomorrow, that will definitely play into our hands after all...'

Takashi chuckled quietly as his eyes scanned his friends individually.

"I see you have only just woken up, you were out cold you know." A voice called out to Takashi, the teenage boy instantly made eye contact with the woman.

"I figured you would be asleep by now, it's surely very late into the night by now... How about you grab some rest and I'll keep watch?" Takashi blinked his eyes a few times as he wasn't used to having his eyes opened for so long.

A small giggle was about the only thing other than the rustling of fire that Takashi could hear.

"Maybe I will soon Takashi, I told Kohta earlier to rest up as I was the first one to sleep early and the first one to wake up even earlier as it appears to be."

Brushing her purple strands of hair out of her face, Saeko smiled warmly at Takashi.

"Tiredness is like a plague that hits us all unfortunately, the mere thought of going a few days without it isn't as great as it appears to be when you actually go through with it." Takashi rubbed his eye drearily as felt his eye become wet.

Saeko of course agreed with Takashi as she nodded.

"Well it's a good thing that the leader has been doing a pretty good job securing our safety isn't it? I don't even want to imagine anything different from what's going to occur now."

"You know... I'm still not too sure about everyone here thinking I am the leader."

Takashi wore an unsure expression as he reached for his water bottle, his throat dry and the feeling of wanting to quench his first was starting to get to the young lad.

"I figured you would say something like that, try not to think too much into this Takashi, I know what your like after all." Saeko smiled warmly at Takashi as the two locked eyes.

"I will not, I can promise you that." Takashi smiled back as he reassured her, placing his water bottle next to him.

"I am glad to hear that Takashi... say, about earlier, I wanted to ask, what happens after we kill all of those lingering zombies within our academy? will we use any supplies that may linger in there for future uses?" Saeko asked multiple questions which left the leader of the group confused on where to start.
