"You've done a good job of hanging in there, good for you." Light said suddenly, it was amazing that his friend had lasted so long, she had been without food and water for who knows how many days, and with the effect of the cold and only two blankets, it was really a miracle that she had survived.
Still, Light wanted to trust the system as to what kind of nature Pacifica had, after all, he had died for his good intentions before, and at least he hoped his friend was a good person.
"Inspection." he suddenly thought, and with that, the window he had been waiting for opened:
"Pacifica West
Age: 21
Nature: Angel"
When Light saw this system window, he suddenly smiled and gave Pacifica a big hug. She seemed to be trying to understand what was going on, but she had been alone and scared for so long that it was impossible not to cry when Light hugged her.
After almost half a minute of hugging, Light, who had withdrawn with great curiosity, looked at Pacifica and asked, "What about the planks outside?"
Pacifica shook her head and said, "Those people with the eagle symbol did that too, since I was alone here, they left me some of the provisions and closed the windows for my survival. They must have thought it would be a good thing since most of the snow had melted, which it was, my life was saved by these planks. They weren't bad people, it's because of Luke that I'm in this situation."
After these words, Light put his hand on his chin and started to look at Pacifica as if he were in deep thought.
If what Pasifica said was true, not every one of those people with eagle symbols could be bad people, maybe those who made Light like that were really bad, after all, they must have been a huge group, and that seemed to indicate that not everyone could be good.
Still, that couldn't be entirely true, there was no way. He hoped that wasn't the case, because then his plan to get revenge on the whole group would be officially destroyed.
He wanted revenge on those people and the group that appeared in his nightmares every time he slept, and with his reason diminished, he would indeed have lost his reason to return.
"Pacifica...." When Light said the name of the woman in front of him, he gave her a strange look and then asked, "Do you want to come with me?"
Hearing these words, Pacifica just stood there and shook her head with tears falling from her eyes.
"I didn't really appreciate you or Luke and at least I'm glad I didn't get attached to Luke, after all, we saw what happened when he was at his worst. I'm not going to be like him though, I have a safe house and I'm going back there after I've been out for a month or so, you can come with me if you're okay with that."
Light's words were like the tender words of a brother to Pacifica. Of course, it was known by the whole group of friends that Pasifica loved him, but the fact that Light had no eyes for such things had always been what stopped him.
So...even though Light knew this, he still didn't have eyes for such things.
He was just not into romance.
And so still Pacifica's thoughts and feelings would stop until she became as strong as Light.
"All right then, get some rest," Light said and instantly pulled out two blankets and some warm clothes from his Sub-Space.
Pacifica could not believe her eyes when she looked at these things that had suddenly happened, she had pinched herself for the first time since she had woken up and realised from the pain in her arm that she was not in a dream.
"Don't be so surprised, we are in the apocalypse, a crimson sun is overhead and a red moon is looking at us at night, zombies have started to take over the world and mutants are everywhere, you really shouldn't be surprised by a superpower."
At Light's words, Pacifica suddenly lay down on the bed and let out a deep breath. After only a few seconds, she quickly got up from where she was lying down and asked, "Will I be able to use it too?" with revitalised eyes.
When Light heard this question, he shrugged his shoulders and then said "I don't know, I haven't come across anyone else who can use it, maybe you can use it somehow".
In fact, he had never tried to come up with an idea about whether others could use these powers, and it was a big mystery whether he could share these powers in any way.
As if satisfied with this news, Light took out many things from his Sub-Space that would indeed keep her warm and gave each of them to Pacifica, and then attempted to leave the room.
"Let me know when you're dressed, we'll be here for a few more days, as soon as you've recovered a little, we're leaving, we might not even be able to go out soon, we have to be vigilant at all times." Light's words reminded Pacifica of what kind of world they were in but also gave her a gift of hope.
Only the future could show how Pacifica would develop.

"Are you ready?'
Pacifica took a deep breath in response to this question and then answered "Yes". Light's current goal was to at least go around and gather information, and if possible, to gather information about zombies or mutated zombies and humans.
That's why he had a notepad and a pen in his jacket right away.
In addition, Light did not forget to give Pacifica a gun with two hunting knives and two magazines.
Pacifica herself was actually better at using weapons than Light, Luke and all other friends.
Light could perhaps catch up with Pacifica with the training he received in 6 months. Pasifica's deceased father was a member of the army, a father who taught his daughter everything.
After all, when they went hunting, it was usually Pacifica who hunted the most birds, and indeed, with just a little courage, she could become a better warrior than Light, and perhaps even a ruthless protector.
A person Light could fully trust other than his big sister and Lawrance. A person who he can trust with his soul. A person he can let to protect his back.
They just needed to find the path and look around a little more. Now that fate had brought them together, there was no way to separate them. At least these two friends would only be separated by death.
Who would have thought that such a friendship could exist in a civilisation?
