Much of the walk passed by in silence; both from them and their surroundings. There weren't even any animals to keep them company and provide some much needed background noise aside from the sounds of shoes crunching against snow.

"Let's stop here for a bit." Kyosuke urged Kaede to sit down for a little while. He looked towards their next and last turn that marks their journey halfway. Almost close. Around fifteen more minutes. He got one of the water bottles out and drank from it, offering it to the girl when he was done. He was about to rise up again when he heard Kaede ask.

"Tell me, what exactly do you mean by them?"

Kyosuke paused for a while to think when he realized that he had been speaking about "them" for quite a while without properly explaining the things he saw.

"At night...no. It's not accurate to call it that since time is out of whack here. Rather, when the sky darkens after the whistle, strange...things come out. I'm not really sure what they are but, they're not human. First time I encountered them, they chased as if possessed by a mad frenzy. Might hint some cannibalistic tendencies there." Kyosuke recalls the first few nights of his stay.

"You'll probably see them soon enough. Best thing to do then is to lie still and sleep in a safe place. Which is why I've been boarding up my little bases like the hotel and the bungalow. Those things only enter buildings when they see a human there which is why it's important to keep out of sight. They're usually relying on their sense of smell but the cold dulls it considerably."

With that, Kyosuke stood up, extending a hand towards Kaede in order to help her up. He looked at the overcast sky above. "Sky's turning dark again...it's been happening much more frequently lately." Sighing, he turned to look at the faint silhouette of the wreck that looms ahead. "I don't think we'll be able to reach the supermarket before it completely darkens. Let's hide out in the house for a while, resume again when the skies clear up. Come on."

He led Kaede down the street where the red bungalow stood. It's not that noticeable at a glance since the snow had piled up high enough to completely cover the roof. Instead of walking in through the door, Kyosuke showed Kaede how to climb the makeshift steps he placed outside in order to enter through a small latch on the roof.

"Door's completely jammed by me so those things don't get in. From what I observed, they don't seem to be capable of climbing." Kyosuke explains the roundabout method taken.

The interior of the one-story house was rather scarce, making it look rather spacious. Although it was a bungalow, there was a small additional platform that provides a pseudo second floor for the house where the beds are located. As with the hotel, all the windows were boarded up. One had a movable panel that allows them to see outside.

"You can check things out here. I believe it'll be dark soon so you'll be able to see those "things" for yourself."
