... Night fell rather quietly.

Creedmoor and Wesley quickly found a fairly good stash of food and water for the group, and they were able to settle down with Mossy and eat peacefully. Creedmoor took the time to bar the door with some spare floorboards and spent most of the night sitting in a window with his Gun in his lap, gazing outside.

When Izuku and company returned to their temporary home base only to find the other two members of the party absent entirely, Aleph remained very quiet for the rest of the night. That evening, they had gone out alone (assuring the party they were only going next door. They were being honest) to search for supplies and found a decent amount of nonperishable food and a water source. Upon return, they insisted Deku and Ado eat, and spent the rest of the night sitting near where Ryo had last been seen, in their red 'Scanner' mode, only occasionally getting up to wander the room.

Castor had quickly finished up business, and Sophie had gathered the gang together to head back to her base. Castor had insisted they gather some of his things from the upstairs room where he had worked on Luka, though only he actually went in the room. He took the rest of Prime's body, and asked Benny to carry a few of the still fresh pieces of scrap, and rather gently closed (and locked?) the doors on his way out, quietly asking Sophie to catalogue the area on their way out.

The Losers, meanwhile, after their long and largely unsuccessful day, had settled in another building just a few further down the road. Conker, Luka, and Taffy searched for supplementary food, and only Conker was successful in finding anything edible. Not wanting to waste their meat, they decided to make a fire. Conker was unsuccessful, and Luka suggested using the laser pistol, but Conker had insisted they not do that, repeatedly pointing out the gun's dwindling power level. Only Taffy was actually successful in starting their fire, and surprisingly so.

They cooked and ate well that night.

Conker offered food to Dwight, but otherwise avoided him.

The light of the White Sun bore down on the center, its intimidating figure large and frightening in the sky.
... And the morning came just as quietly. The Sun looked a bit higher up by then, but still directly over center, and still closer than it should have been.
