Throughout the chaos, Kisha and Duke remained inactive, leaving all the action to Sparrow and Vulture. It suited them fine for others to perceive them as mere ornaments with intimidating appearances, rather than capable fighters.
Kisha had little interest in battling the sluggish zombies that offered no crystal cores, deeming it a waste of her time. Meanwhile, Duke's primary concern was Kisha's safety. Despite his trust in her abilities, he couldn't shake off his needless worry, preferring to stand by her side to ensure she remained out of harm's way.
The newfound confidence among those who joined the fight was palpable. Despite Fred's occasional reminders to avoid complacency, he allowed them to revel in their newfound courage. It was a reminder that even in the face of danger, maintaining hope and confidence could fuel their determination to survive, far better than succumbing to despair and resignation.
