Preparation [2]

After memorizing his location so he could warp back later, Damien flew away from the dome before teleporting back to the house.

Arriving, he started telling the girls about what he found. He'd already briefed them about the situation before he left on his search, so he only needed to tell them about the hideout.

And since they were already on the subject, he told them about the conditions of the world outside the city.

"To be honest, it's stupid that we never considered the possibility before you said it," Elena said. She was slightly downcast about the state of the world, but she was similar to Damien in the sense that she knew she couldn't do anything about it, so she didn't fret.

However, unlike Damien, she held on to the possibility that once she became strong enough, she could come back and make the world a more peaceful place.

After a slight interlude, Damien spoke about the dome-like structure he had found. He also described the mutated people he had seen exiting it.
