Rikka didn't seem to be in the mood to talk, so Naoki didn't push it. She simply held the little girl close until her whimpers ceased and were replaced by deep breathing; Rikka had fallen asleep in her arms.
Shifting her hold on the girl so that Rikka's head rested on her shoulder, Naoki sighed. Having the child close was a strange comfort. It had calmed her down.
"Strange isn't it?" she said out loud to no one in particular. "How everything seems to be so peacful, like it's no different from any other day... When the truth is, it's probably quiet because everyone else is already dead."
The morbid truth had slipped out unintentionally, but it made everything sink in. The feeling of surreality had vanished, and all of a sudden, everything was so horribly true.
Naoki gazed out at the surrounding houses and the street below. The people... There were no people.
If it was all happening as it should, and the infection was spreading through the country... Naoki herself had already lost someone dear. The people she was with right now; their friends, relatives, and everyone they knew who populated the area; they might all be gone as well.
She shuddered at the thought. For the first time, fear struck her deep. Never before had she been so afraid and uncertain. The feelings were so alien to her, she felt almost stupid.
How are we going to survive this?

Sirena didn't mind Naoki taking Rikka. Rikka loves new friends, plus she knew Naoki. "A girl survived in this world. That is pretty impressing." Sirena told. Well, it may look like she told to no one, but if anybody heard, they heard.
Rikka was sleeping as she woke up stretching her hands. She heard a question what Naoki asked. But when she asked, Rikka snapped out right on Naoki's hands. "Uh..." Rikka concetrated and finally had her eyes open. "Umm...Sis Naoki? I can reply what I saw." Rikka took her breathe in and out. She the remembered "Me, mommy and daddy were off to the market. One strange person entered the market, and we heard screaming. Then, one of the people came towards Daddy. It bited him at the leg. Police came and killed everyone there...even...Daddy. Then, me and mommy ran. I fell down. Mommy came to help me because one of those people were going towards me. Mommy got biten too. She gave me this pistol and I ran with tears. Many of those people were going towards me. I didn't know why. Then one of the police helped me and told 'Do you remember any of your sibling who you might think are alive?' I sighed at first. But I remembered Sirena. I nodded and he let me go." Rikka breathed and huffed. One tear came down her cheek. She missed her mom.
Sirena still heard giggling and everything. Sirena saw Rikka from balcony and her tear. Sirena sighed and sat on the bed. She felt bad for her. But now it's her duty to watch out for her.
