Y/N continued to follow A2 through the city for a while now. He had no idea how much time has actually passed since she saved him from that machine that was going to attack him, because the only device on which he could check it was still not working. The sun wasn't helping either. He still felt as if it still was the same time of the day.

He tried to start a talk with his new traveling companion a few times, but their talks never really lasted that long because her answers were always short and complete. She certainly wasn't a talkive person, or android in this case. He was still having hard time believing that A2 was an android. He saw a few androids in his life, mostly on the internet, but they were still far away from being on the same level as A2 was.

They came across a lot of machines during their little walk through the city, which of course attacked them without hesitation the moment they set their eyes on them, especially on him, but they weren't much of a trouble for them, because A2 easily took all of them out with her blades. Y/N could only imagine how hard it would be for him to move around this town if he wasn't with her at this moment.

He rubbed his eyelids, feeling how he was becoming more tired. He looked up and saw the sun which was still on the sky, shining brightly. He placed his hand on his throat, feeling it drying up. He reached into his backpack and pulled his canteen out. He took a small sip, knowing that it was his only source of water for now and that he had to save it, especially that he drank over a half of it now.

"For how long were we walking?" He asked his android companion right after taking a sip.

A2's answer was quick, as she proceeded to walk forward, "A few hours, maybe."

"A few hours?" Y/N asked, "I still feel like it's the same time of the day."

"What do you mean by that?" A2 asked him, wanting to know if he meant what she thought he meant.

"Haven't you noticed it?" Y/N asked her in return, pointing his index finger upwards at the sun, only to lower it a second later, "That the sun is still shining as if it was the same time of the day, even though it definitely isn't if a few hours passed?"

"You don't know that?" A2 asked him another queston in response, not even turning to look at him, "Sun remains on the sky for the entire time, even during the night times."

It took several seconds for Y/N's brain to register ths information, "...What?"

A2 looked over her shoulder and shook her head at him with a sigh leaving her mouth, "You really are clueless, aren't you?"

"I can't really blame myself for that, you know?" Y/N rolled his eyes at her comment, "I just woke up a few hours in a place that I have now knowledge of. I think that I may be allowed to not know anything about this place."

She didn't respond to his words. She continued to walk forward as Y/N placed his canteen back in his backpack. He pushed himself into walk again and increased his speed a bit to catch up to her. He went back to his normal pace when he made his way over to her, now walking right next to her. The two of them just walked through the town for the next few minutes in completel silence which was broken when they heard something moving in their direction.

A2 held her hand out to Y/N, signaling him to stop as her blade instantly appeared in her grasp. She turned in the direction of the sound, readying herself to take out another machines, but it wasn't a machine. A huge boar ran right in front of them, as her and Y/N's gaze followed the animal, only to see it join a few other boars in the distance. The human made sure to eye all of the boars carefully, not recalling seeing a boar this huge before.

Watching all of these boards made him realize that he hasn't eaten anything since his awakening. He bit his lips, placing his hand on his stomach, "Uh, A2."

"What?" She wanted to know as her blade disappeared from her hand only to appear on her back a second later.

"You wouldn't happen to have any food with you?" Y/N answered.

A2 pointed at his backpack, "You don't have any food in this?"

"No." Y/N shook his head, "If I had I would have already dig in it."

A2 turned away from him and looked around her surroundings, before setting her gaze on one of the buildings. She started moving towards it, and made a quick gesture with her head towards Y/N, telling him to follow her without saying any words. Y/N followed her into the building, walking closely behind A2 as her blade appeared in her grasp once again.

She walked ahead of him, eyeing everything around her, trying to spot if there were any machines in this building. It took her a few moments to assure herself that there weren't any, at least at this moment. She entered one room, before turning to look at Y/N who entered it right after her.

"Stay here. If something will happen, find a place to hide." She told him as she gave one last glance before turning towards the exit from the room, "I'll be back soon."

Y/N just nodded his head to that as A2 walked out of the room and out of the building, leaving him alone. He walked over to one spot in the room and sat down, leaning against the wall. For the next several minutes, he just stared at the wall in front of him, not doing anything. He knew that it may take some time for A2 to find some food for him, so he wasn't excepting her to return in the next few minutes. He really wished that his phone was working because he'd be able to play a game to kill some time.

It was when he recalled one thing that he found in the backpack right after his awakening. He grabbed his backpack and unzipped it. He reached into it and pulled out the journal. He never really had one before. Maybe except for one time when tried starting one when he was younger, but stopped writing in it a few days later, as he grew bored of it.

He put his backpack aside, and pulled out the pen that was still between the pages of the journal. At first he made sure that it was working. It looked new, but it wouldn't hurt him if he made sure, right? He drew a small square on the first page, making sure that the pen was working, before starting to write the first entry in it.

Day 1

This was a very confusing day and it is just a gentle way of putting it...

It took him some time to write shorter version of what happened today. He stopped writing when he reached the part when A2 left him in this building to get some food for him. He closed his journal and placed it back in his backpack. He was about to reach into it to pull out his music device and earbuds, but stopped when he heard someone enter the building.

He stood up from the floor and picked up his bat. He raised it in the air, but lowered it a bit when he heard the sound of heels touching the floor. It must have been A2 returning with some food for him, but on the other side, he couldn't be so sure about that. All of his suspicions vanished when he saw A2 enter the room, carrying a boar steak.

"Where did you get that?" He asked her, before realizing how stupid this question was.

"I killed one of the boars we saw before entering this building and then cooked it in a bonfire for a few moments." She explained as if it was the most obvious thing, as she held the steak out to him.

Y/N placed his bat aside and took his meal from her, giving her a grateful nod of his head, "Thanks."

She just gave him as silent nod of her head in return as Y/N sat down in the same spot as before. The steak wasn't as hot as he excepted it to be when he set his eyes on it, but he wasn't complaning about it. He eyed his meal for a second before digging in, eating it without any fork or knife because there obviously wasn't any around.

It tasted bad to say the least. A2 definitely wasn't a good cook, but he couldn't blame her for that. He doubted that she had need to cook something before. He wasn't going to complain about it, though. It was the only food he had right now and he was hungry and was going to eat it anyway. It still wasn't the worst thing he has ever eaten. There were a few things that were way ahead of it. The food that he made for himself were way ahead of it. He wouldn't give the food that he made to the worst dog.

It took him a few minutes to finish his meal. He glanced over at A2, "Thanks."

"You already said that." She pointed out, rolling her eyes.

"I know." Y/N shrugged his shoulders. He grabbed his backpack and reached into it. He pulled out his music device and his earbuds, wanting to kill some time with it. He placed one earbud in his ear, and left the other one hanging down his chest to his knees. He always kept one earbud out of his ear when he was with someone, to make sure that he was going to hear everything around him. Sometimes it worked, sometimes it didn't.

"Are trying to contact someone?" A2 asked him, never having a chance to see music device before.

Y/N shook his head in response, "No. I'm going to listen to the music."

"To what?" A2 asked, confused.

"Music" Y/N answered, becoming confused as well, "You don't have have it here?"

"No." A2's answer was short and quick.

"What about TV shows?" Y/N asked her another question.

A2 remained silent. This response was enough for Y/N.

Y/N continued, "Video games?"

Again, completele silence.

Y/N sighed, running out of options, "Books?"

'I saw a few in the ruins but I never paid attention to them because they never really interested me." A2 explained.

"It's better than nothing, I guess." Y/N nodded his head to that. He'd have to make sure to search some ruins to look for any books in the future, but to be honest, he doubted that he'll find ones that he likes to read, like Lord of the Rings or the Witcher. He placed one earbud in his ear, and held the other one out to A2, offering it to her, "Do you want to listen?"

A2 shook her head, "No."

"Are you sure?" Y/N asked, wanting to be sure.

A2 nodded her head in confirmination before moving towards the exit from the room, "I'll be standing on guard."

She stopped in the doorway just a few seconds later, and stared ahead of her, as if she was just waiting for someone or something to enter this room. Y/N shrugged his shoulders to that, before pressing the button on his music device, turning it on and the first song started playing just a second later. If Y/N was honest with himself, he didn't really had favourite type of music. Everytime when a song caught his ear, he just started listening to it.

He slowly moved his head back and forth to the sound of the song ringing in his ears for a few minutes before it ended and switched into another song. He could feel a smile growing on his face when he heard what song was next and he could have sworn that A2 send him a look, clearly weirded out by it.

He spent the next hour listening to the music, eventually earning a look from A2 who stood on the guard for this entire hour, not saying a word to him. It seemed like they were going to stay in this building for some time. Perharps it was time to earn some answers for the questions that were bugging him since he awoke in that apartament.

He turned his music device off, and the earbud from his ear before calling out to his traveling companion, "Hey, A2."

"What?" She asked him.

"What year is it?" Y/N wanted to know. This question was one of the first ones that appeared in his mind today.

"11945." A2 answered after a few seconds.

Y/N's eyes snapped open as he could feel how his heart almost stopped after hearing her answer. What did she mean by 11945? It was supposed to be 2020 if he recalled correctly! What the hell happened to him? What was he doing here? How did he found himself over 9 thousand years in the future? A2 turned back to look at him, and from the expression on her face, he could tell that she wasn't messing with him.

He placed his hand on his forehead, his mind trying process what he had just heard. He couldn't remember the last time when he was that nervous about something, and he couldn't blame himself for it. Anyone would react the same way in his situation. He could feel a deep nervous breath leaving his lungs, which was followed by another one and another one. He placed his hand on his chest, trying to steady his breathing.

A2 noticed that something was wrong with him and immediately rushed over to him. She knelt down in front of him, and placed her hand on his shoulder, "What's wrong? Is everything alright?"

"Yeah. Everything's fine." Y/N took one deep breath after another, giving her an assuring look. He remained silent for a few more seconds, his nervous breathing being the only thing that A2 got from him. He cleared his throat after a moment, now calmed down a bit, "I have..."

He was cut off when A2 placed her hand on his neck. His answer didn't seem to be enough for A2. She wanted to sure for herself if he was okay. She started checking his entire body, starting with checking his pulse on his neck and his wrist. Y/N felt really uncomfortable as he clenched his teeth, while his android companion assured herself that there was nothing wrong with him.

When she removed her hand from his chest, he asked instantly asked her, "Was this really necessary?"

A2 nodded her head in confirmation and crossed her arms, "It was."

"If you say so." He told her in response, before going back to what he was going to say before she interrupted, "I have a few questions. I know that may sound a bit dumb to you, but how long was it since humans started living on the Moon?"

He was right. This question really felt dumb to A2. He was a human. He should have know about this. At the same time, this human being completely clueless about everything around him felt so strange to her. He didn't had to wait long for her to answer, "Humanity fled to the Moon to escape the alien invasion that took place in 5012, that used those dammed machines that now infest the planet as their weapons."

Y/N could feel his eye widen a bit at this information. It was really that long since humanity had to leave the Earth? And it was caused by an alien invasion which is the reason why he came across so many machines trying to kill him today?

A2 didn't stop there. She continued her explanation, "Androids were send down to the Earth as the humanity's weapon to fight off the invasion, forming a Resistance against them across the globe."

"I assume that you're one of them, then." Y/N stated.

"I was created as a YoRHa android..." A2 was interrupted by the human.

Y/N raised his brow, interrupting her, "YoRHa?"

"Our task is to reclaim Earth for the human race and it was given to us by the Council of Humanity on the Moon..." A2 paused for a second, "But I'm not with YoRHa. Not anymore."

Y/N titled his head to the side, wondering what made her abandon YoRHa, "Why?"

"Command betrayed me." A2 answered, her tone changing into more of an angry one, as she clenched her fists in anger, an angry frown forming on her face.

Y/N noted the way how she reacted. It must have been a really touchy subject for her. It raised another question in his mind. Was this Command that she just mentioned the same android that she spoke of when she mentioned someone lying to them again right after finding out that he isn't an android?

"Hey." He told her, knowing that nothing good will come out of trying to make her tell him about this. The last thing he needed right now was pissing off the only one that didn't try to kill him today, "You don't need to tell me that if you don't want to."

A2 stared at him for a second before nodding her head. She stood up and walked back to the doorway, stopping herself in front of it, standing on the guard in case if any machine was going to enter this building.

A few questions appeared in Y/N's mind during the little talk that he had with A2 just a few seconds ago, but it was obvious for him that he wasn't going to get more answers from her at this moment. One of the questions that was on his mind at this moment was what was the Resistance that she just mentioned, or what was the difference between Resistance and YoRHa. He didn't had need of asking her what the Council of Humanity was because the answer was quite obvious to him.

It was when a tired yawn escaped his mouth. it's been only a few hours since he awoke, but this day was certainly a long one. A good nap would be good for him after everything that happened in the past few hours, right? He took his hoddie off, beginning to form it into a small pillow. It would be much comfortable for him to place his head on it than just on the floor.

A2 turned around to look at him, "What are you doing?"

"I'm going to take a few hour nap." Y/N explained.

"Didn't you awoke only a few minutes before I found you?" A2 pointed out.

"Yes, but I'm still tired, and I can't really tell for how long was I sleeping in that apartament." Y/N answered. The last memory he had before waking up in that apartament was going out with his best friend Colin to hang out.

He lay down on the floor, placing his head on top of his hoddie pillow. He was about to close his eyes, but stopped when he saw something or rather someone standing in the corner of this room. At first he thought he was just seeing things, so he simply blinked a few times, thinking that the figure will disappear from his view, but this figure remained in the corner, proceeding to stare at him and A2. He sat straight up and rubbed his eyes, only to see it gone, ashes which fell on the floor were all that was left of it.

He turned to look at A2 who only stared at him, confused, "What were you looking at?"

"It's nothing." Y/N shook his head, "I was just seeing things."

With that he lay back down and slowly drifted into sleep.
