>”Taku?” You ask as you carefully approach her.

>Moonie approaches the both of you, eyes focused outside.  
>”Perhaps we should through the back alleys instead of the open streets” She suggests.  
>She looks at Taku, She seems to want to say something reassuring but doesn’t seem she really knows what to say.  
>Neither do you.  
>”Do… uh… Are you… mmm…”  
>”I-Im r-ready to g-go” Taku says.  
>”Are you sure?” you ask.  
>”I just want to go home” She replies.  
>That’s all you want at this point too.  
>The three of you walk out the back door into the alley way.  
>As you follow the sound of the bell you look around for any signs of life.  
>You realize there aren’t even any animals.  
>Usually whenever you looked down an alley you would see some rats or a stray cat.

>You don’t bring attention to it, morale is low enough without you pointing out something else is wrong.  
>Eventually you come to a point you have to cross the street.  
>Nothing down either end of the street.  
>You dart across.  
>wait…  
>Something catches your eye.  
>On the street corner by a sign is what appears to be a sheet.  
>As Moony and Taku scurry into the alley you decide to take a closer look.  
>something catches your hoof causing you to trip.  
>”Floor!” Taku shouts as she rushes to your side.  
>You look for what tripped you.  
>String  
>just ordinary string pulled taut and tied to sign post and the nearby street light.  
>”Are you ok?” Taku asks.  
>”Yeah, I just wanted to see what this sheet was and I tripped over this.” You say gesturing to the sheet and string respectively.  
>Moonie comes over and inspects the string while you look at the sheet.  
>As you pick it up you feel it’s contents.  
>Feels like dust and crumbs.
