"This is like Call of Duty 35!"

Amidst the chaos and the onslaught of avian attacks, Katorra, a shadowy figure blending into the turmoil among the survivors, seized a moment of opportunity. With a deft and stealthy move, Katorra managed to pilfer Catherine's shotgun. The act went undetected in the midst of the pandemonium, as both the infected birds and the other survivors were preoccupied with the ongoing battle, unaware of the shadowy figure's clandestine actions.

Katorra, wielding Catherine's shotgun, took decisive action and aimed at the infected birds, firing a shot that resonated through the air. The blast found its mark, bringing down the swooping avian threats and providing a momentary respite from the aerial assault. With a mix of relief and adrenaline, Katorra exclaimed,

"This is like Call of Duty 35!" Catherine, surprised by Katorra's reference, questioned,

"There's a Call of Duty 35?!" However, Reggie's response acknowledged the grim reality of their current situation.

"Don't think that matters anymore," he remarked.

Reggie, recognizing the need for stability and support, guided Katorra back inside the building. Meanwhile, Mytia turned her attention to Noah, who was grappling with the weight of guilt and regret. Noah's spiraling thoughts led him to believe that he should have intervened and prevented the tragic events involving the other children.

Mytia, with a compassionate demeanor, attempted to calm Noah's distress. She understood the emotional toll that their harsh reality could take on the youngest members of their group. 

As Noah grappled with the aftermath of the tragic events and the weight of survivor's guilt, the emotional burden became increasingly overwhelming. Noah, a survivor who had witnessed the horror unfold, found himself questioning his role in the events that had transpired. The guilt gnawed at him, creating a tumultuous storm of emotions that threatened to drown him in sorrow and remorse. 

Mytia, recognizing the unique connection between Noah and the owl cat, sought comfort for him in the midst of his survivor's guilt. Approaching the gentle creature, Mytia made a simple request, "Can you try and comfort Noah?"

The owl cat, its intelligent eyes reflecting an understanding of the emotional turmoil within Noah, gracefully wrapped around him. Its soft feathers provided a sense of warmth and protection, creating a cocoon of solace for the troubled survivor. The subtle purring of the creature, a soothing melody in the midst of chaos, resonated with a comforting presence.

Noah, initially lost in the depths of his guilt, felt the gentle touch of the owl cat and looked into its eyes. In that silent exchange, a connection was forged—one that transcended words and conveyed a profound understanding. The owl cat, an otherworldly guardian, became a source of comfort for Noah, offering solace in a world marred by tragedy.

Lowering its head in a gesture of compassion, the owl cat communicated an unspoken promise to stand by Noah's side. In that moment, amidst the chaos and emotional turmoil, the gentle creature became a silent companion, providing a tangible reminder that he was not alone in his struggles.

The survivors, observing this unexpected bond, felt a collective sense of reassurance. Mytia's intuition and the owl cat's innate ability to offer comfort had created a beacon of hope in the midst of despair. 

In a rare moment of acknowledgment, Catherine turned to Katorra and uttered a simple but heartfelt "Thanks." The expression of gratitude carried a weight of recognition for Katorra's swift and decisive action in using the shotgun to eliminate the threat of the infected birds.

Dustin, feeling a sense of gratitude, expressed his appreciation to Catherine for the collective efforts that had averted the immediate threats. However, practical concerns quickly surfaced, and Dustin posed a question that highlighted the grim reality they faced: "Who is gonna clean?"

The loss of the cleaning team members added another layer of challenge to their daily survival.
