"Oh..."

Erica hadn't noticed, on account of her running around and being more focused on the fact that she had a gigantic weapon she was lugging around. In fact, she didn't even check her daypack either. She was realizing how much she had been missing. Realizing just how lucky she was that she made it this far... how long has it been, even?

"...Well, that sucks. We could always barricade the classroom. The school's big enough, unless you've been anywhere else that's safer?"

"The cafeteria! That's a great idea! We can use the tables and chairs as barricades," said Erica, almost just as quickly dashing out of the room before dashing back inside, having forgotten her stuff. A slightly embarrassed look on her face told Zane everything he needed to know about how she felt about that.

"S-sorry, got a little too excited, and a bit nervous, honestly." she picked up her things, including her large weapon. "I shouldn't get my hopes up too high this early but hey, at least nobody's out to uh..." the words had a hard time coming out of her mouth. So she substituted it for a more tolerable one. "...hurt us."

She gave her best smile and began to head out, walking this time.
