The following hours had been... well... troublesome to say the least.  It was clear from the newscast that the world basically went to hell in a hand basket and there was no sign of redemption in the immediate future.<em>At least it's not all bad.</em>Daichi though looking over to the bushel of arrows Aori had recovered from the storage locker.  He had practically fallen in love with the girl as she came out with both of her arms full of arrows.  Though they would hardly guarantee anything, the ammunition represented an opportunity of their survival.  That wasn't to say he doubted the others' ability to fight, quite the contrary in fact once he seen how effectively Aika dispatched the zombie that came lunging out of the storage closet.  It mainly had to do with the notion that he would not be dead weight upon the shoulders of those around him.<br/><br/>Daichi took a moment to look over all those who had managed to convene in the teacher's office amidst all the death and chaos.<em>Definitely can't argue with the company either.</em><br/><br/>As Shine voiced his intentions to head north to find salvation amongst the Buddhist temple, Daichi considered that notion.  It seemed as good of an idea as any, but he couldn't shake the feelings of worry he felt for his parents and younger brother who had at least been fortunate enough to get sick with a cold and take today off.  All three of them would have more than likely been home together when all this went down, so surely they would have been safe.  Hiro was even more of a zombie nut than he was and would have surely seen the signs and made sure their house was secure.<br/><br/>Daichi's voice caught in his throat when he first attempted to say anything, so he cleared it and tried again.  "I want to try and find my family first...  All three of them were likely home when all this happened and I need to make sure they're alive.  Plus, my mother is a botanist and you said you were looking for seeds.  By checking on them, not only can we accomplish both of our goals, but we'll have an expert green thumb among our ranks."  Though he framed it in the logical terms of strategic value, his main priority was reuniting with them if it was even possible.
