Chleo and Ashley felt relatively safe in the cave where Yuna's Vectis lived for the past three days. The kind-hearted Vectis told them he would be back in three days and today was the day of Vectis's return. He should be back hours ago, but Vectis hadn't appeared until now.
Luckily, the two girls' appetites weren't as big as an average person's, so they could apportion what should have been three days of food into four to five days.
But on the fifth day, the food supplies had run out while the flint supply had also been used up. All that remained were three fire stones for lighting in the cave at night. Once the flint was used up, the room around them would be pitch black, and they couldn't see anything.
After waiting for almost a week and Yuna's Vectis still not showing up, they couldn't help but feel restless and anxious.
"Do you think something happened to that creature? What if other Vectis caught him, and he couldn't make it?"
