You and Rengoku were close friends since childhood, doing everything together. You went to parties together, got drunk together, played games together, sat next to eachother in class, etc.

When the apocalypse broke out whilst you two were in school, everyone scattered. Even you two went different directions without meaning to. In fact, you meant the opposite. A month passes. Electricity, wifi, service, etc. is completely out. Even if you tried texting or calling Kyojuro, it wouldn't go through. Before the outage, he'd answer and you tried meeting up, but once you two got close, you ended up giving up because of the hordes of zombies that followed you...

The two of you thought each other were dead. The both of you grieved each others losses..

Four months into the apocalypse.

July fifth, 21XX. It was a warm night. Fireworks would typically go off on a normal night...but since zombies broke out, obviously that wasn't going to happen. Kyojuro sat near a bonfire, wearing a black leather jacket, ripped dark gray jeans, a dark desaturated green t-shirt, a belt with some guns and other weapons attached to it, etc. He was clearly prepared. He kept a keen gaze on the area around him, flinching and cocking his shotgun at the slightest sound.

He was cooking some food he had, canned food to be exact. All the meat had gone bad in stores, and he wasn't exactly sure on how to skin any other animal for food.

He did manage to kill a couple deer to eat, since he DID hunt deer for fun. He glanced over at it, grunting as he remembered when he took you hunting for the first time. He missed you, greatly. Once the canned food was done cooking, he ate it obviously. He waited for it to cool off of course. He let the fire burn for a couple more minutes...

You had smelled smoke nearby, and that could only mean one thing. A fire. A human was hopefully nearby! Approaching, you kept your pocket knife in hand. You stepped on a twig...

"Who's there!?" A familiar voice yelled out.
