Third person POV
Along the way, Asato said thank you to Gen for helping him get his stuff.
"You're welcome, Asa-kun," Gen replied back. "I'm happy to help. That's one of the few things I can do for you."
Asato then smiled in response to it.
Then, just as they turned left at an intersection, Asato and Gen suddenly heard a scream coming from the distance. They then ran to that area, only to see a young man, with brown hair and black eyes, trying to fend off some zombies with a broomstick while standing on the rooftop of a red sedan.
"Oh, no, someone is stuck on that car," Gen responded.
Asato then nodded. "Yeah, let's help out."
He and Gen then readied their weapons and started attacking the zombies, one by one, so the young man would climb down safely.
Upon seeing that, the young man, a biracial named Reina Aoki, was stunned. "Survivors..."
He uttered that in a low voice.
After they had taken down the zombies, Asato and Gen looked at Reina. "Are you okay up there?"
"Y-Yeah..." Reina replied while stuttering.
He then held his broomstick in his right hand and climb down the sedan. "Thanks."
"Just happened to come across here." Gen reloads his pistol.
But Reina saw Gen's blood red eyes, and he was terrified. "Is that red eyes of yours?"
"Yes, I am zombie." Reina then flinched in response. "A-Are you going to bite me?"
Asato then responded by trying to calm Reina down. "It's okay, it's okay. He won't bite you or anything. He's good now."
Lowering his guard down, Reina replied, "Are you sure about that?"
"Yes, he's docile now."
This statement causes Gen to be flustered a bit.
Asato noticed that, and he asked, "Are you okay?"
Gen then snapped out of it. "Yeah, yes, I am."
He hides his flustering from him and Reina.
After that, Asato glanced at Reina. "Say, where's your parents?"
"I don't know." Reina shrugged. "I got separated from them since day 1. And now, I was lost and had nowhere to go."
Understanding Reina's current situation, Asato suggested to him, "I see. How about this? You can stay at our place for a while."
"Really? Is that okay?" Reina asked.
"Yes, my lab wasn't far from here," Gen responded. "You can stay for how long you like."
Eventually, Reina agreed with him and Asato, and they all walked towards Gen's lab building.
