>“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.
