Saeko: I want to review where we're going from here! We had a plan. But it's already fallen apart! Our plan to "leave tomorrow morning" has become "leave this instant". In other words...things aren't necessarily going to go the way we hoped! But now, we got a new plan, our top objective is to reach Shintoko elementary school. But while at it, we need to help Miyamoto confirm her mother's safety. We're all in agreement with that, I take it?

Takashi: Uh, yeah. After Hirano and I have confirmed that it's safe from the second story of the emergency staircase, we'll open the emergency doors...

Saeko: We'll start searching at Miyamoto's home district. In the event that we find otherwise...

Saya: We start checking other places where her mother could be, starting with the closest ones, the eastern station and then Onbetsu elementary school.

Shizuka: um...what if they're not there?

Others: ...

Rei: I don't want to think about it, but...we end it there. After that...we just continued to get to Shintoko. That's all.

Saya: You could give up on her easily?

Rei: It's not giving up! But there's...nothing else we can do.

Saeko: If that happens, it will be trickier to continue since we only travel by foot. If we travel by bike, it's going to be hard for us to get through if we come across a group of undead. Hirano, how do you propose we proceed? I've read it before in the newspapers, but if I'm not mistaken, in military Lingo, this kind of situation is called...

Kohta: Rules of engagement! (R.O.E.) Our current objective is to locate Miyamoto's mom and get her to join us. In other words, we have to act in accordance with what will achieve that objective! In our current situation, to fulfill our goal, we have to behave like the special military forces storming enemy territory.

Saya: *pulls out gun* We avoid contact with the undead to the best of our abilities. And if we do come across them,

Alice: We run! And if we can't get away...

Shizuka: ...screaming or firing our guns would be bad.

Rei: Listening to you all, it feels like we're forcing you into this...

Takashi: Rei's right. I said this before, but everything we've discussed beyond this point only benefits Rei and me. There's no reason for you all to come along!

Saya: Don't you think it's a little late to be saying that?

Shizuka: It's scary out there, but I prefer that to us getting separated.

Alice: Are you trying to act tough, big brother Takashi?

Kohta: I made some attachments for the Ithaca.

Hunter: I already told the rescue team that we were not gonna go with them. Well, if you told us sooner, maybe the rest of us could go with the rescue team while you both hit the street.

Saeko proceeded to elbow his side.

Hunter: Ow. Anyway, we have been together for a while now. So we might as well do that until we reach Shintoko.

Rei: So that's how it's going to be...I see.

Takashi: Yeah. And listen...thanks everyone.

Kohta: so...since it's just a bike clamp and brake pad with a BBQ skewer...it might break on the first try.

Takashi: Nah...at least I've got more options now.
