"Mhm." Quinn replied, frowning a little as they came to a crossroads. The streets were eerily empty.

Antonio wasn't fond of how empty everything was, "Are the streets always this quiet?"

"Usually." Quinn replied, nodding a little bit.

"It's just so, strange," Antonio admitted.

"What, exactly?" he asked, raising his eyebrows.

"A city being this large and this quiet," Antonio replied.

He let out a faint, bitter laugh. "Yes. Well."

"Yeah," Antonio trailed off after Quinn.

Quinn closed his eyes for just a moment, shaking his head.

(Replies will be slow these next few days. Moving on to campus and all that. Sorry.)

Antonio glanced over at Quinn. He didn't know what to say or do.

(alright! No problem!)

Quinn took a deep breath, opening his eyes again. "Look, I…this search is going to be really damn hard."

"I, I understand," Antonio replied glancing over at Quinn, "I hadn't expected it to be easy."

He nodded a little bit.

Antonio gave him a nod in return.

Quinn kept walking, sighing faintly.

Antonio glanced over at him before looking back ahead.

Quinn hummed faintly as they walked.

Antonio gained a slight smile as he heard Quinn hum.

He sighed quietly, still humming.

Antonio glanced at Quinn unsure as to what to say from here.

Quinn had no idea where to start and bit his lip a little bit.

Antonio let out a little sigh as they walked along.

Quinn glanced over at him for a moment.

Antonio made eye contact with Quinn briefly. He took a deep breath in and out ready to see the outskirts of town.

As they got closer to the outskirts, the buildings got more and more dilapidated, more run-down and old.
