Yamamura and Mochizuki make their way through the dense snow making sure to stick to the wood line as to avoid any attention from anything that could cause trouble, Mochizuki knew he could protect himself but wasn't sure if he could keep Yamamura safe.
"So where is this resistance?" Yamamura asked Mochizuki as only to start conversation so that he might forget how cold his body was starting to feel. "It's in Japan that's why we need to hurry and be as quiet as possible" Yamamura started to think to himself about how they could be in Japan with this much snow almost 4 inches and growing, it startled him to think about, "Japan has never snowed like this. Why snow to this level now?" Mochizuki kept moving saying nothing. Yamamura started to feel as though Mochizuki was trying to keep something from him, he was worried to figure out just what it could be.
The pair had started to show signs of fatigue moving further and further as the forest became more and more thin, the brush was scarce, and they both knew they needed to find warmth somewhere amongst the snow. "There. It's a hangover" Mochizuki points towards a rock face with a hangover that could be used to build a fire under and keep it running. "We have to warm ourselves here if we want to make it into Japan without you falling behind" Mochizuki said to Yamamura. Yamamura instantly felt as though he was a burden the world had changed so much, so many people with awakenings, he started to think of how much of a burden he could be if Japan was as dangerous as Mochizuki was leading on.
"Are you afraid.... Mochizuki?"
Mochizukis face began to show a shock as in disbelief that Yamamura would be so blunt as to ask that question. Knowing that he ignored the previous questions from Yamamura he felt he needed to answer the question, Yamamura's face showed that he was not going to take silence as an answer again.
"I can only use my aura for 2 hours..."
Mochizuki turned away from Yamamura. Just like that the energy began to change Yamamura had no words as he also didn't know a lot about auras being in a state of unconsciousness for years he was not one who should show frustration. "What do you mean for only 2 hours?.." Yamamura needed to ask the question he knew Mochizuki would hesitate to answer, but he needed to know because the only one with any combat abilities was Mochizuki. Silence filled the air, Mochizuki was sitting in silence with a look of depression and anger on his face he couldn't answer Yamamura. At least not yet, not until he could make sure that he would be willing to help save Japan. Yamamura was in a state of fear the one person who could protect him in this new cruel world was for the first time, silent.
"Mochizuki!.."
Yamamura snapped out at Mochizuki he needed an answer. Mochizuki stood vigorously and clenched his fist and with a stern yet emotionless voice- he answered.
"I'm sick... my aura is growing the cancer cells in my body...."
Yamamura's face dropped. He knew the gravity of what he just heard, and not only that but the one person he felt he could befriend in this cold new world. He was angry not at Mochizuki, but at the world that had stripped the man of his life by giving him an enchancer aura. Mochizuki stood and began to walk towards the tree line. "I'm going to grab firewood".
"H— how long do you have..?" Yamamura asked as he held back his anger and tears.
Mochizuki walked further into the tree line.
"I'll die before the years over.."
Mochizuki disappeared into the tree-line.
