❝ mary , i think we got pretty lucky this time ! there’s a roll of gauze here as well as the disinfectant we found ! ❞ though it wasn’t as if yumeko particulary cared one way or the other if they found what they needed or wanted . every single breath taken in this sort of environment was a gamble . absolutely nothing was guaranteed when something out of the realm of fiction was constantly trying to kill you , as well as other people && the looming threat of running low or out of supplies .
none of the fear that came with such life - or - death risks was present on yumeko’s face , nor was it lying dormant within her ; whether they were successful or not didn’t matter .it was the act of the gamble itself , pure && simple .
her attention came to that of a locked door ; could it be possible supplies were kept safe since the very beginning of everything ? that would be a huge benefit to them , but of course there were obvious risks - what if it had been set up , rigged by a fellow survivor ?what if an alarm was rigged to go off , alerting every walker in the area the second it was opened ?
yumeko’s eyes sparkled with an obvious excitement , her immediate priority becoming finding a way to get that door open .
golden irises once again located her partner from where she’d been searching — nearly lit up at the declaration of another find . sure , maybe it isn’t much , but even the smallest things were important now . anything seemingly unimportant might later be useful in a trade . knew yumeko well enough that she was WELL AWARE yumeko was more interested in the risk than the supplies they desperately needed .
mary would abandon the near - barren shelves she’d been searching to rejoin her partner . planned to collect the gauze before she had the chance to do something else equally as unpredictable as she USUALLY did . but as she approached , she was quick to notice the other’s newfound interest in what seemed to be a locked door . something that admittedly piqued mary’s interest as well , albeit perhaps for different reasons . was more focused on the supplies that could be lurking inside .
she knows well that there are likely millions of ways this could go wrong , but they needed the potential supplied , didn’t they ? && if they work together they should be able to figure it out , right ? still , she’d first take the gauze the other had announced retrieving , tucked it into her backpack as she drew in a deep breath . knew that when it came to yumeko , there was no way she’d be dragged away from something this dangerous as well as this rewarding . so instead of trying , mary took her place next to her friend with a tired sort of sigh . “ locked , huh ? so — what’re you thinkin’ ? doesn’t look like the kind of lock you can pick . && there’s the possibility of an alarm if what’s in there’s really good . we should be careful with it . ”
