'Damn it, why does scavenging through cars have to be so messy? I thought everything ran on essence by this point.' I reached into the engine of a car looking for mechanical parts, as it turns out a lot of the parts to make a car are present in guns. Aoi was inside the car, taking apart the dashboard, trying to get her hands on the essentrical parts.
'It seems that cars are still a mix of essence and old engines.' To me, it was a surprise to see such technology used, as it had become extremely cheap to own an essence vehicle. Even if you couldn't actively use essence, the passive amount that people emit is enough to operate devices.
Argh, I finally got it out." Using my mutant strength, I finally pulled out the part Aoi was after without breaking it.
"Oh nice, you're a lifesaver, Reia. It takes me 10 times longer just to get one part of an engine, usually." Aoi looked up through the window, delighted to see the part in my hand.
