Too Calm.
[Third Person POV],
Emma and Anna were standing in front of the building Ace, Chris, and Mia were still in.
Emma by her side had a slightly better expression than Anna, who still looked like she was about to puke.
When Emma told Ace she was going to help Anna when she found the surroundings silent, she was more concerned for Anna because it was strange that the surroundings suddenly went silent despite the amount of noise that had been made previously.
What she didn't expect to see were mutilated bodies, with blood and various body parts strewn about.
Though she knew there was some kind of conflict since she could hear fights from inside the building before she came outside, she still felt the scene she saw was too cruel, or rather she felt Anna was too cruel in her ways, but when she looked at the situation a little more, she saw that perhaps her thoughts were wrong, and when she went to Anna's side and talked with her, she finally understood what happened, and when she understood what happened, she felt disgusted.
It's unclear whether she was disgusted by the way the men approached Anna and the plans they had for her, or whether she was disgusted by what the 'boss' did to his teammates, assuming he even considered them that.
When she discovered that they had also come for her after Anna told her about the 'others' reference, her feelings became complicated.
She felt the men deserved what happened, but she also felt it was cruel, which made her feel complicated for a while.
Of course, she had to be a source of comfort for the disturbed Anna, who clung to her despite the fact that she was covered in blood.
Though she was disgusted by the blood on her body, she couldn't speak as it didn't feel right in the current situation, so all she could do was bear with her disgust as Anna gradually improved.
It was around this time, Ace appeared with Chris and Mia.
Chris just happened to have caught a glimpse of the bloody sight before Mia, so he quickly used one of his hands to cover her eyes as he blocked her vision.
Ignoring the struggle of the little girl in his hands, he trailed after Ace as he made his way to Anna and Emma, doing his best to ignore the blood, mutilated bodies, and bloody body parts on the floor around him.
Unlike the other three, Ace's expression remained calm, and his body showed no signs of discomfort. To Emma, seeing his emotionless face that appeared eerily calm as if the scene around him was something normal was somewhat frightening.
Emma was disturbed by the eyes he used to look at the mutilated Bodies on the floor with no reaction. Especially since the only thing that could be called a reaction was the curiosity in his eyes as he observed his surroundings.
When Ace finally got close to Emma and Anna, he didn't say anything and just stared at them for a few seconds.
He didn't say anything until a few seconds later.
"You reek," he said calmly to the two of them as if what he was addressing was important in the situation that they were in.
Emma's face was rather 'incredible' at this point, as she wondered if Ace truly didn't care about what was going on around them.
Anna heard what Ace said as well, but unlike Emma, she appears to be used to it. After all, she, like Emma, was taken aback by Ace's lack of emotion in certain situations. Her reaction was even more exaggerated than Emma's, to the point of questioning him when she was agitated.
(This occurred in chapter four when Anna questioned Ace about why he was so calm after the primordial chronicle appeared.)
Chris didn't care about what the other three were saying as he tried to calm the curious girl in his hands.
His blocking her view of what was going on only piqued her interest.
Chris' mental fortitude was quite strong, perhaps due to the number of monsters he had killed, as his mental state was still okay despite his current surroundings.
Ace finally asked what happened, perhaps because he felt that observing the surroundings would not provide him with enough clues.
Hearing this, Anna said exactly what she had told Emma to Ace.
At this point, her expression was better than before.
Ace thought about what Anna said for a moment before speaking.
"Let's put that aside for a moment and leave this place. The blood here will attract monsters ", he said as he temporarily ignored what Anna had said and focused on what was more important at the time.
When they heard what he said, they all reacted and left the area.
Ace never said anything about the food sacks on the floor, and no one else did either, especially Anna, who didn't want it.
Since both Emma and Anna were covered in blood, they had to change, but Ace did not believe the scent of the blood would leave them like that so they began searching the houses in the community that still had their water tanks running.
Ace assumed they'd be able to find one since the one they stayed in at the camp still had its pipes connected, which they, fortunately, did not long after they started their search.
Seeing this, the team decided to stay in the building for the time being.
They changed clothes after the girls, including Mia, took a bath. Emma is currently wearing one of the clothes Anna selected from the mall that fit her.
After all of this was done, Anna brought up the previous issue.
