[Long-term...? Mika's actively trying not to think like that. The idea that he could be stuck here all by himself indefinitely is way, way scarier than empty streets and neglected parks.]

I, um. I didn't think a' that... boy, ya sure got a good head on yer shoulders, thinkin' of everyone like that! [He laughs again, the sound caught somewhere between nervous and embarrassed.]

I guess since everythin' is unlocked anyway, we could prob'ly just hunker down in one a' th' stores if we really had to... or maybe there's some empty apartments 'round here too?

[That's another idea that Mika, frankly, really didn't want to have to do. Staying somewhere all by himself. But he's supposed to be human now. He has to be able to manage on his own, even in a place like this, right?]
