Lucian looked at both of them for a while, his presence quiet yet slightly suffocating to the two trembling figures before him, who were clutching each other.
Escaping from this place, where monsters were currently roaming, it wasn't a bad idea.
From their perspective—
It made sense.
Rather than staying in one place, waiting, while listening to the distant screams, while imagining monsters breaking into their houses at any moment.
Rather than that, it would be better to run away, reach somewhere safer—
It wasn't an unreasonable decision.
Only if the other places were safe, which wasn't really the case anymore.
The world itself had changed. The danger wasn't limited to one street or two.
But of course—
How could both of these people know that?
Lucian couldn't help but feel that it was a stupid idea.
Not because they were wrong in their decision, but because of how they chose to act on that decision.
First of all, there were monsters roaming right now.
