Outside of Livia's mobile lab, Evan, Rick, Joe, Emilia, and Layla walked towards an open space.
Layla was a bit silent as was everyone else; Evan looked at her and whispered in her ears, "What's wrong, disappointed?"
Layla's ears turned red, but she shook her head and gave him a reply, "No, I mean, kind of... but, I can't help but not to be, we don't have that luxury after all."
When Layla said this, her eyes flashed with regret as she really wanted to 'bond' before going out and fighting again, but her eyes showed firmness knowing that only once all dangers are gone could they have free time to rest.
Evan looked at her deeply and held her hand tightly within his own, causing her to glance at him in surprise. He smiled and spoke, "Spoken like a true model; I'll reward you once we finish our missions."
Layla giggled as she didn't show shyness this time but stare directly into his eyes with an expectant look as she smiled and replied, "I hope so."
