Ā Ā Ā āI donāt see what other options we have. If youāve got ideas then Iām all ears, but until then its just what has to be done.ā Of course, none of them want to live this way. Day after day of constant sacrifices and wondering who will die next. Itās certainly no way to live, but all theyāve got for the moment. āJust a little while longer alright?

When another group of people find us and fight us over what we have?ā He let out a deep breath as looked out the houseās window. There would always be a future as long as people existed, but that didnāt mean it would be a good future. How long could they go on for like this until everything just... ran out?

If what we do now is just how itāll be until the day we die. Even then, thereās never a guarantee weād even make it that long. Anything could happen, and the more it comes to mind, the more it just sinks in. That this might never end. That this is... how itāll be for the whole world, for the rest of... whatever lifespan there is. That thereās no true end. Even Iām not sure if... I could fight like this indefinitely. ...Can you?ā
