Itsuki stopped as the fatigue started setting in, the adrenaline from seeing...whatever that thing was, was gone now, instead replaced by vigorous sweating and panting as he leaned on a lampost, which only an hour ago had been shining like always. It was funny, thinking that that would be the last luminescent light he'd ever see depressed him even more. [i]"Guess it's true what they say...you never appreciate what ya have until it's gone and people turn into fucking coffins."[/i] He chuckled a bit at his own bad joke, honestly, if he was going to spend the rest of his life being alone in this sorta hellhole, he might as well work on his material. Not like anybody else was going to be-

He stopped panting and stood completely still, and breathlessly stared at the figure of a young woman, looked to be around his age ahead of him. His mouth was completely agape, he thought everybody had been turned into coffins, or into...whatever that blob thing was. Now, he felt a semblance of peace return to his mind, he wasn't the last man alive, and heck, if she survived the "Coffinpocalypse[b]™[/b]", what were the odds that more people couldn't have as well? Putting his thoughts into motion, he quickly made his way over to the girl, even though he was nearly out of breath, he still sprinted full speed, coming to a halt a few feet from her. He stood there gasping for air for a moment, now the fatigue fell upon him again, this time taking the words from his mouth as he anted heavily, hands on his knees as he stared at the ground in front of him. He tilted his head up as he was still breathing, trying his best to look the girl in the eyes; she seemed to have a tan complexion, though the pale-green light of the new creepy-as-all-hell moon made that a little difficult to see her actual skin pigment. As his breathing grew less ragged, he stood up a bit straighter, though his hands still rested upon his kneecaps. He finally gathered enough breath in his lungs to say: [b]"Are....Are there...any others? Did....D..id...anybody else not get turned into a-*cough* a coffin?"[/b] He returned to staring at the ground, trying to regain his breath once again.
