The purple dusk deepens over the overgrown street, and the first night groans drift from the alley mouths. Benjamin holds the marked map and the folded note while the loaded packs bite into his shoulders.
Dane
We can make it home if we move now. If we stop, we need cover before dark fully drops.
Mara Miller
The pantry is close, but close is not safe anymore. We need food and time, both.
Elias
The route back is clear on paper. In the dark, every corner becomes a gamble.
Louis
We already have two packs full. If we push for the house, we keep what we found and start fortifying tonight.
Jenny
Or we hide first, let the street empty out, then move. I just do not want us caught halfway home.
Benjamin stands at the center of the choice, the map pointing toward home and the note pointing toward one more possible haul. Around him, the survivors wait for a direction that turns scavenged supplies into a base, and a base into something that can hold.
