She's in a fortified position right now, I feel like her chances would be worse if she made a run for it. With my experience watching tons of zombie movies. They always hole up somewhere.

>You slam your hands down on her desk, causing her to flinch.

What the hell is going on?! I just lost an SOS transmission! And my computer is losing its goddamn mind!

“A-ahm… Well..T-They’re... telling me there’s been an...an attack. Floors 3 and 4 have been hit b-by some kind of explosive. W-We’re supposed to evacuate as soon as possible.”

…

>T-That’s a pretty good excuse, you suppose.
>And, as if on queue, the second she finishes explaining the situation, the alarms start blaring.

“Yo! What’s going on!”

>You can barely hear Ogata call from this desk.

We’re evacuating! Get your ass over here!

>Without a word, he heeds your advice and casually walks over to join you both in your panic.

“Okay, what’s really going on?”

...Are you joking? Just look around man! We need to get moving now!

>Sometimes you wonder if he’s playing or if he’s actually this dumb.

“...Heh, when you put it like that, it does seem kinda serious.”
“Well, you’re the superior here.”
“After you.”

>You definitely err on the side of Tomo when it comes to this situation.
>...And you can already feel the sweat beading on your forehead...
