Junko listened as the young man spoke about his fallen comrades. Two were soldiers with their own strengths, but in the end, those strengths were not enough to overcome the shortcomings and shape them into the sort of soldiers that could survive, or even thrive in this new world. The third wasn’t a soldier at all, but an American who had ended up in Europe seeking riches. Lastly, he told her about himself, that he himself wasn’t a soldier, but a survivor.<br/><br/>She could understand that. After all, in the beginning, that was how she had been, before joining the army. Now, though, she wondered which one she was? Or maybe she was not one or the other, but both? Perhaps it didn’t matter, because either way, she was fighting the vampires and other monsters, and while in general they had some fundamental differences, they were not mutually exclusive.<br/><br/>She pushed these thoughts away as he told her he had no destination in mind and suggesting that she lead the way. She nodded to this, having no issue with his suggestion. After all, as he said, she was from Japan, so she knew the land better than he would. She didn’t have a particular destination in mind for herself, either to be honest, but she knew what was in the area, and she could easily guide them from place to place.<br/><br/>Vasya continued, telling her that he planned to avenge his comrades, or die trying, chuckling as he noted how cliché it sounded. She smiled lightly at this as he continued, explaining that this was only part of it, because life was an adventure and this journey was the same, if perhaps riskier and more elaborate.<span style="color: #00BFFF">“Well, then it seems we have the same goal, if not the same motives,”</span>she replied stretching her arms above her head as he put some faint music on.<br/><br/>She smiled lightly at the way he grinned with shimmering eyes as the music played.<span style="color: #00BFFF">“Very well,”</span>she added as she began to walk towards the opposite end of the city from where they had come in. She sensed that the Horsemen were continuing to move closer, but unless something changed, they should have plenty of time to make it out and put a little distance between themselves and the city before the monsters converged on it. Still, just to be safe, she didn’t dilly-dally, adopting a pace that was prompt but not hurried.<br/><br/>As they walked, she wondered if she should share something about herself, since he had done so. She wasn’t really sure what to share, though. She wasn’t really the best at sharing information about herself unless such was requested. Putting her hands behind her head, she interlaced her fingers and took on a relaxed posture, glancing over at him.<span style="color: #00BFFF"> “If there’s anything you want to know about me, feel free to ask,”</span>she offered, unsure if he actually cared or not.<span style="color: #00BFFF">“I don’t mind sharing, I just never really know what to share, and I don’t want to share a bunch of information you don’t care about,”</span>she explained with a light smile before focusing her gaze back in front of her.
