The Next Day
As soon as Soichiro woke up he gathered up his gear and food for his journey to the first regalia. As he was leaving the shelter the chief Yuma appeared in front of the door right before Soichiro left. "Where are you going Kugo?" Yuma asked. "I- why are you asking?" Soichiro stuttered. "Look, I worry about everyone here. It's my job to make sure everyone is alright while we have to deal with Eos in ruins. I'm not gonna stop you, it's your choice whether to go or stay here. The choice is yours." Said Yuma . Soichiro stood for a second and thought about what to do. In the end he decided to leave the shelter and go meet Chozen.
"Well well well look at this little Kugo decided to save the world." Chozen said. "Well I want peace in this world. So are you gonna lead me to the first regalia or are you gonna keep running your mouth?" Soichiro said. "Alright alright. Let's set off but know this Soichiro, once we go there's no turning back. So are you absolutely sure you want to go on this journey?" Chozen stated. "Yes I'm willing to give my life for this world." Soichiro replied. "Good. Now let's go save the world."
