Nn. *Shouichi himself was doing some quick math and distance judging, while looking out toward the volcano*

I'm probably at least a couple hours away from you on foot from here... More actually since the terrain isn't going to be easy to navigate. Do you plan on just maintaining that direction for now and sticking along the river?

There is a friend I'm still waiting to hear back from and he may have found some place safe to stay as well. He certainly isn't in any danger at least, I imagine. But he's apt to just disappear on a whim and meanwhile I'm on my own...

If I don't hear back from him within the next hour or so, I'll set out in your direction.
