Sheila finally caught up, just in time to see Jun put the gun in his dimensional storage. He turned to the two arrivals with a sharp gaze, then said, "Gather every food downstairs, I"ll go down later. I just need to do something."Sheila immediately went down, not daring to stay any longer. Adrian was a bit hesitant after seeing Jun"s expression, he know that this is Jun"s home, and people that are staying here had to be his family or someone who he had relations.h.i.+p with. As he watched him enter the room, he felt a slight pang in his chest. They might be strangers and haven"t known each other for long, but Adrian knows the feeling of losing someone special. And because he already experienced it, he knew that no amount of counsel can help alleviate the pain he"s currently feeling. The best thing that he could do is to watch over him from the sides.
Adrian"s not someone who easily gets swayed by his emotion. The main reason he felt concerned towards Jun was because he know that people can become insane and possibly die under intense grief. Losing a qualified leader who can maintain a clear mind to devise a plan and have the courage to fight a group of infected would surely reduce his chance of survival. He went back to the kitchen and saw Sheila already sorting cans of food in the table.
Sheila stopped when she saw him and asked, "Aren"t you scared of him?"
"Why?", he replied as he searched for plastic bags.
"Well, you know... He acts like a goon and keeps bossing you around.", Sheila said while making a small circle on the table with her finger tip.
He sat down holding two eco-bags that he found inside a drawer, he then replied, "Then, do you think he"s bad?"
Sheila pondered for a bit, most of her interactions with Jun were initiated by him and he always treated her gently. Even though she made some mistakes, he didn"t even reprimand her and instead gave her another chance. "No, he"s actually quite approachable and has lots of patience...", her voice trailed off and became a murmur in the end.
Adrian smiled seeing her reaction. "People tend to get confused when they"re distracted. I"m showing him that I trust him, that"s why his trying his best to trust me too. Try and talk to him some time."

"By the way, I"m going out for a bit. You can loot the whole place by yourself, right? Jun will probably take some time before he could come down."

Jun sat beside the bed. On his hand was his father"s treasured item; a family picture of four.
His father always liked staring at the photo during his siesta. A beautiful woman was smiling charmingly, holding a little girl that seemed to be about six years old. Beside her was a stern looking man holding a kids hand. They looked happy in the picture as everyone, except for the man, was smiling widely. Holding the picture frame, tears kept falling from Jun"s eyes. He hated his father, and that is a fact, but at the same time, Jun loved him more. He spent his childhood admiring his father and when their family seperated, it hit him the hardest.
Besides him lay a book that emits a golden radiance. He got the book after looting his father"s body. At first, he deliberated if he should loot his father"s body, since looting the body will cause it disappear. On the other hand, he thought of burying his father in their backyard, but his conscience didn"t allow it. He know that an infected tend to reanimate after a period of time, and he have to kill his father once again. That"s why even though it pained him, he had to loot the body.
He dazedly watched the twinkling stardust as they disappear. Then he placed his hand on the book with the intent to read it.

[Yes/No]
Of course, Jun would learn the book. It was the right thing for him to do. For him, it was a precious item left to him by his father. Even if it turned out to be a trash, he would still cherish it.

The first thought Jun had when he learned of the skill books name was that, he would be following his father"s foot-steps and work as engineer, but after reading the skills description, he was shocked and happy.
It turned out that the skill book his father left him had a wonderful ability and it might be of superior quality depending on how you use it.
