"Can you open it?"

"Yeah probably, can you hand me a screwdriver from my backpack?"

The dancer handed the gamer the needed item as Sakura plucked a bobby pin from her hair, crouching down to be at eye-level with the door.

"It looks like this apartment building is abandoned... But it still looks clean in a way?"

Nako nodded at Hitomi, "yeah, as if no one raided it yet."

Minju peeked over Sakura's shoulder, "Kkura-unnie do you really know how to lockpick a door?"

"I've done it multiple times..."

Chaewon raised an eyebrow as Sakura began to fiddle with the two objects in her hand, "in real life?"

To that, the Japanese girl had no answer, making the caramel-haired girl sigh.

"There."

"Oh wow."

"Woahhh."

Sakura smirked at Chaewon while the other two Japanese girls awed at her, "it's the same thing as in a game."

"Okay okay, you win Kkura-unnie."

"Good job Kkura-chan."

The pink-haired girl smiled as Chaeyeon held her hand, the group of six cautiously walking inside to see no one.

"Get anything from the list you can find, and if you think something that's not on the list would be useful, take that as well."

"Nae~"

The girls split into three groups of two, carefully stepping over fallen pieces of furniture and scattered papers around the carpet.

Sakura and Chaeyeon walked down the hall while Minju and Chaewon stayed in the main area, Hitomi and Nako rummaging around the kitchen to see if they could stock up on food and water.

"There was a kid here..."

The pink-haired girl gently brushed her finger across the frame of a red-car bed, the painted wood smooth against her skin as Chaeyeon looked around.

"I hope they're okay."

"Yeah..."

"There's still lots of water and canned food here. We got as much as we could hold."

Chaewon glanced over to see Hitomi and Nako with their backpacks full, giving them a thumbs up.

"We have almost everything we need, let's see how the older lovebirds are doing."

The girls giggled from Nako's comment, walking across the living room until they heard a slight rustle.

"Earthquake?"

Chaewon shrugged at Minju, the girls alert as they waited for another movement or sound.

...

...

The caramel-haired girl widened her eyes, "Hii-chan move!"

A dark blur shot out from the corner, barely missing as it scratched the younger girl's cheek, Nako pulling her away from its trajectory just in time.

"W-what the hell..."

The blur swirled around, the girls tensing as multiple entities formed behind the original.

These entities were different from what Yuri encountered.

The four ran to an overturned table, hiding behind the furniture as the handful of entities began to shoot forward in different directions, knocking down objects that were on shelves while making the already scattered papers fly everywhere. It seemed as though they had no target, but wanted to create destruction to anything it crossed paths with.
