A couple of hours later,
The cold of midnight enveloped the entire city, matching the darkness brought about by the cloudy skies. Not a star could be seen, and the moon only briefly showed through the gaps of the low-hanging clouds which covered most of the city.
It was time for the party to journey through the city at once. Even though this wasn't the initial agreed-upon time, they opted to go through with it since it seemed like the safest, most rational option at the moment.
"Are we ready?" Kazuichi asked, slinging the bag on his shoulder while he watched the others also strap on their carriables. It was going to be a long night, and the weather didn't help with the sentiment.
"Yep, I'm all right on my end," Arisu responded. Unbeknownst to Amaya and Tris, Arisu actually went out for a bit to hunt a couple more rabbits so she and Kazuichi would have enough blood for their travel. This way, they won't have to worry about running out of their much-needed consumption.
