Ashton closed the missions tab and got immersed in his own trail of thoughts.
It is clear that the System was pushing for his survival as well which is good. And since the point was made, Ashton now has to think of his next steps.
Aria is still sleeping right now so he couldn't ask his questions. For now, since he doesn't know how long he can stay inside the Grand Library, he might as well think about making an actual shelter.
He made a mental note to explore the ruins of City M at one point. He figured that maybe he can scavenge some items around (if there even is any), he also had to search for a relatively safe spot to hide for now.
The last location he was at wasn't that bad but it's exposed. Ashton would be stupid to stay there since he would most definitely be seen by the creatures that will eventually wander inside the city.
