Yenya, the young woman he had entrusted with the well-being of this village, was in the hot spring area.

Eva was also silent, but she quickly wanted to say that Garnt should leave this place but words didn't come out of her mouth.
A tear escaped Garnt's eye, but he quickly wiped it away, his focus unwavering.
"We need to leave now," Garnt said with a determined tone, his voice muffled by the gas mask. "These creatures are dangerous, and the gas has affected the villagers and if Yenya didn't survive, there's no way others would survive. We have to get out before it's too late. I don't want three of you to die because of my selfishness."
