After spending a while together, Shinon and Kira decided to take a much-needed walk together. A lot had happened in a short while, and they finally had found some time to sort their thoughts properly.
However, as they walked down the hallway of the infirmary, conversing about Rico's condition and the situation with the Phoenixes, they saw two young children walking out of a check-up room.
Although the kids looked familiar, Shinon couldn't quite place where he had seen them before. Kira, on the other hand, recognised them immediately.
"Those... are Sarah's kids," she said, her voice trembling.
"Wait... are you sure?" Shinon's eyebrows rose in surprise. "What are they doing here?"
"They're not supposed to be here," Kira replied, her voice choked as she slowly realised what must have happened. "They were supposed to be with their families, heading towards the military base in the next city... not here."
"Something's not right," he muttered.
