*H-choo!* "Who's talking bad about me?"
"Why did you sneeze?! You just called bad omen for us!" Joia reprimanded Bruno all of a sudden.
The reason why Joia said all that, is because they were in an area that is infested with nests that holds alien-like species. On the street, on the walls, on the cars… They were almost everywhere.
After the sneeze of Bruno, one thing became certain to the duo. The alien baby creatures are easily triggered by sound, and are capable of shooting itself out of its nest with insane speeds. The duo were in fact completely caught of guard due to them talking instead of running, and the main cause of that is mostly because they're basically still like the average human.
Unlike Annika, the two didn't have a skill that allowed them to travel with insane speed. Their reaction time was normal, and as a result, they were both strangled to the ground.
"Hmmm!"
"Hmm!!"
