It had been hard not to do much else but whimper at the way Tess was holding her; the bruises made everything hurt. Certainly, she was glad to be out of Zombie City, but when they told her to take a weapon Miku hesitated. I can't, she had said. I don't know how to use them, and they're illegal, besides!

So, Tess had decided to give her a baseball bat, which she now clutched between both hands. She still felt... decidedly off, but at least she wasn't suffering as much from the feeling that small child had washed over her. It was just plain, simple, queasiness from hearing the sound of killing. If Miku had a choice, she'd never enter the pod caverns again, just to be safe from watching the violent deaths of those poor other people again. Cowardly? Perhaps, but a person didn't go poking a beehive to be stung on purpose, either.

"You... probably shouldn't do that, Oren-san," Miku whispered. Why call trouble to them? It would find them soon enough.
