>"Yeah…" you answer.
>"and you probably noticed it's moving right?" She asks.
>"yeah…" you answer again
>"Well, we found out why it moves." Paradise says with a troubled look on her face.
>"it's being moved by these creatures, they aren't like the others…"
>"What's so different about them?" You ask.
>"I think…" She pauses for a bit. "I think we are more dangerous to them than they are to us…"
>That seems odd to you.
>"We killed four of them… the first was completely by accident and the rest were just… too easy…"
>Paradise's eyes begin to water
>"We knew they would kill us if they got the chance but… it was like tricking children…"
>"They don't die quietly either, that cry you heard… that was one of them. When one of them dies… Th-they cry… if any others of their k-kind are around they just stare at them until they die…"
>Tears begin to stream down Paradise's face.
>Home Sick continues the explanation
>"It doesn't take much too kill them either… we realized we could do it with just some string tied to some nearby poles to trip them… That's all it takes…"
>Some string tied to some poles.
>That means…
>"My friends and I saw those… were those sheets…"
>"Yeah, those sheets are their remains"
>You were holding a dead body in your hooves.
>"ohh…" You're not really sure how to process this new information.
>Your new companions don't seem to eager to continue talking about the subject.
>Again you travel in awkward silence.
>Kinda wish Taku was here, she usually has something pleasant to talk about.
>You reach a street corner
>Paradise stares intently at the street sign and squints a bit.
>"Something wrong?" you ask.
>"Can't see the name of street, lost my glasses when I was attacked by something when this all started." She answers.
>"I see" a reply you instantly regret.
>Home Sick chuckles a bit.
>Paradise smiles a little bit too.
>"So, tell us about your friends" says Home Sick.
>Probably trying to keep up the good mood.
