"My purpose," Yuki said with shaky eyes, her heart slamming loudly in her chest, what was it, she knew she had one but she couldn't remember, her looks darkened as her hand clenched her head tightly.
"I can't remember my purpose".
'Purpose?' Mirai thought puzzled.
"Mirai-chan, is Yuki-chan okay?" Yumi asked from behind, worried.
Suddenly Yuki gasps as if getting herself, she took a deep slow breath, she felt on edge, an unusual feeling, she swiftly wipes the blood off her nose facing Mirai, who just stared at her.
"What?" she demands with a frown.
Well, that was new, Yuki's face was always emotionless, hard to decipher, Mirai remembered Asano complaining about it, this was a first.
But then Mirai's body tensed at her question, wasn't she the one in pain just a moment ago?
"You don't seem okay, I was worried"
Her lips pressed in a thin line.
"There's no need to worry about me," Yuki said firmly, leaving no room for questions, but Mirai didn't back down, she was curious and her curiosity got the better of her, sometimes.
"Earlier you said something about purpose, what do you mean by that?" Mirai asked.
Yuki faced the sword in silence, Mirai caught this.
"A katana..." she said as her eyes grew wistful of memories of the past.
"This could come in handy but the Kaiju's can only be killed with guns," Mirai said noticing her tight grip against the sword.
"It's still a weapon that can be used," Yuki said taking it as she rose to her feet.
"Are you sure you're okay?" Mirai asked once more still worried, as she rose to her feet also.
Her unreadable eyes lands on Mirai, it was back again, the robotic expression.
"I'm fine" her answer was short and simple as she walks away, leaving Yumi and Mirai behind like nothing happened. It was odd, she was odd.
"She's strange" Yumi admits without a doubt
"Yes... very" Mirai said with a puzzled look.
***
Dim chatter went around the bio-genetics, either of their experience or about the strange creatures that attacked them or their fate, as well as Shino's words about completing the mission
Daiki walks to Kaname seated at a corner, on the ground, his back against the wall, he was lost in thought.
"Kaname," he said.
Kaname turns to him, he watched as Daiki took a seat beside him, in the same position, knees raised, arms on top.
"Daiki heard about Yuma" he began with sad eyes.
Kaname's body trembles as he recalled, the moment the boulder crushed Yuma into nothing, the blood, the remains, ha... yes it was just a leg that was left of him.
Kaname held his mouth as the bile of vomit threatened to come out.
Daiki turns to him seeing his state.
"Daiki is sorry... It's okay if you don't wanna talk about it" he said sweating profusely.
Kaname swallowed hard.
"It's okay," he said removing his hand from his mouth.
"How is Ren holding up?" Daiki asked.
"Not good I guess," Kaname said with sad eyes.
"About what Shino said..." Daiki began.
Kaname turns to him.
"About finishing the mission" he adds gulping.
"I say he's fearless unlike the rest of us," Kaname said.
"I'm more of a ladies' man than a soldier" he adds with amusement in his tone, but it didn't reach his eyes.
"I never grew up surrounded by fights or threats, deaths... it was all so peaceful", his eyes grew wistful, as he run his fingers in his golden locks.
"I guess your life can change after one single event", his mind flashed to black storm day.
"I never knew the world was so cruel, I was literary on top of the world before all this, life was so easy"
Daiki's eyes shake listening to him, but then they stop.
"Life wasn't easy for Daiki," he said faintly, but Kaname heard him, a ghost smile found his lips.
"I guess we are both in the same boat now," Kaname said his gaze on the rest of the bio-genetics.
"We all are".

"Our comm's are jamming, It's probably useless now, no contacts can be made," Ten said checking the small device
"Going ahead without comm's is the only solution now," Shino said as he gulps hard. This wasn't gonna be easy.
Ten, Haya, Fujio, and Mizuki agreed to go with him.
Shino held out the chip in his hands, he stare at it with shaky eyes, his fist tighten around it.
"Tomorrow," he said to the others.
"We move!"
*
The sunset outside, the entire environment darkens, the bio-genetics waited, none slept, none dared to shut their eyes, all too shaken up to do so, until hours later the sunsets to its highest peak, it was dawn, very early, bits of lights reflecting inside the underground building, they were thankful they made it to the next day.
The bio-genetics brought out their syringe, a daily routine they must abide by to survive the already ticking death clocks on their heads, injecting themselves, the blue liquid flowing inside them.
Ten sweats staring at the syringe he held.
"Don't tell me you're scared of needles Ten" Shino said in amusement.
"No I'm not!" he argued.
Daiki's eyes rolled at the back of his head as he faints.
"Hey, wake up dude," Kaname said shaking him with white eyes growling.
"Well that one is scared of needles," Haya said raising an eyebrow.
'I can't let them think I'm scared too' Ten thought tensed.
"Just close your eyes Yumi," Mirai said gently, Yumi did as she told closing her eyes, she felt the needle behind her neck, she gasp the pointy edge penetrates, she felt the liquid flow inside her.
Ten shakily borough the needle behind his head ready to insert it. 'Come on' he thought sweating profusely.
"Lemme helps you with that fatso," Kaneki said with a dark twisted look behind him.
Before Ten could react, Kaneki pushed the needle in, Ten shrieks in a pain, the liquid flowed in, he quickly removed it, facing Kaneki.
"WHAT DID YOU DO THAT FOR!" Ten shouts with white eyes.
Kaneki just shrugs his shoulders giving Ten a smug look, Ten's teeth clenched, wanting so badly to punch the smirk off his lips.
"Shh," Yuki made a sound with a stern look marching forward.
"What is it, Yuki?" Shino demands.
"Listen..." she said, her eyes laced with seriousness.
"Yuki?" Asano said puzzled.
They stared at her in confusion, but then Shino took his time to listen, he did as every noise and whisper around him disappeared, it traveled to a distance, he was amazed at this, that he could hear things from afar but then suddenly he heard vibrations that shook the earth, approaching them like an earthquake, he counted 20... no 30... wait it was more than that... 50?... his eyes widen in realization... no about 100 of them or more.
