"Just let me go Joy-Ce..." Haze said, trying to get passed Joy-Ce, but Joy-Ce continued to block his path.

"No! Not until you and Gray talk! You haven't talk to each in 3 months! In this situation, you two need to talk!-"

Haze rolled his eyes, "Talk about what!? How Gray could have killed T-Bam when he amputated him! How can I brush that aside like that was nothing!?"

Joy-Ce frowns and pushes Haze back a bit, "T-Bam already said he was fine! He admitted that it was the best choice Gray did! Why can't you see that!?"

Haze stays silent for a while, and for a moment, Joy-Ce thought he finally got to Haze, until he responded, "...I just don't wany to lose any of you, but I could have lost one of my best friends that day...and I can't forgive Gray for that..."

Joy-Ce sighs, he understood that, he didn't want to lose any of them either, but he knew avoiding conforting the issues wasn't the way to go with this.

"...You haven't lost any of us yet...but you're continuing to strain our friendship apart...and it could lead to something even worse...please...please understand that...and talk with Gray..."

And with that, Joy-Ce left the room, leaving Haze alone, Haze stared at where Joy-Ce was for a moment, before walking away aswell.

"That was my first time outside since the outbreak...I didn't know what it was like out there, Gray refused to tell me and the others what it was like out there, aswell as refusing to let us go outside to help him with the supply missions..."

"...I thought it was bad, but it was way worse then I could imagine, so many dead coaches laying on the streets, you could rarely make a sound without alerting the infected...I learned that the hard way..."

"Why did Gray have to go through all this? Why didn't he let us help him...no one would face this situation alone..."

"We have to stick together...that's what he told us...and yet he does this...putting himself in danger, so we could survive..."

"...He probably wouldn't care if he died trying to protect us...but we would...and I want him to know that so badly...and yet...he doesn't listen..."

*Start of Message*

"I am NOT gonna tell him about what happened there, he doesn't need to know about any of this."

"......"

"...He doesn't have to know...he doesn't deserve to know what's going on outside...and I'll make sure of it."

"I...I'm okay now...my leg still hurts...but not as bad as before, Haze tried to bandage it up as best as he could...I still don't like looking at it".

"But...I can tell Gray seems really guilty about what he did...he's trying to make it up to me right now...I do forgive him for what he did, I know he just wanted me to be safe, and for me to not turn into one of...those things..."

"But it's my fault for getting hurt, I don't wanna be a burden to him and the others anymore...so I'll try to help them around here if I can..."

"I...I really don't know, none of us have heard anything from the other Danceverses, we haven't had any signal at all since the outbreak..."

"I can only guess their struggling as much as we are...the infected are probably different from each Danceverses, but that's just my guess"

"You would think the gods would have helped us by now, it's almost been 2 months since the outbreak...and yet no one has heard from them at all, not even from Wanderlust or The Traveler!"

"...Did they...abandoned us?"

for Joshua: bro you're getting into a wild ride with her probably(in a good way, bc she doesnt hold back, isnt it nice?😁)

Maybel shrugs "Eh, I've gotten passed being disguisted a long time again, and those infected in Cyberfunk are WAYYYY worse! These Dancity infected are easy to take care of, plus, I've been to the Virtualscape, that was way worse then this outbreak-"

Joshua looks at Maybel, a bit afraid and in awe, "I uh, I mean...I guess I could use the company, plus she has experience and isn't too bad so-"

Maybel smiled and hugs Joshua, "Yay! See! We would make an amazing team together!"

Joshua smiles slightly and pats her on the back, "I guess so...*chuckles slightly* oh boy, this is gonna be quite an adventure with you along huh?"

*Start of Message*

"...Thank you for your kind words...I'll try to take your advice to rest...but I still need to focus on my research".

"As for the other survivors, I rarely see anyone outside Dancity, *Iris looks out the window blinds* It's just like those zombie apocalypse movies, a city that is abandoned..."

"There could be some survivors we're not aware of, if that's the case...I hope their safe...evem kd we're a small research team, we will try to find a cure for this Virus as soon as we can...for Dancity and all the Danceverses".
