Summary
The cleanup is always worse than the outbreak, X thinks to himself.
It's partially why he wanted to officially retire. But he knows so long as the virus exists, he can't. A part of him wonders if the virus is aware of that fact; and does this sort of thing specifically to taunt him. It probably would. X isn't sure how sentient it is, but at this point? It certainly wouldn't surprise him to learn.
Heading into a ruined hotel, he searches for any remaining Mavericks or potential survivors. (Doubtful. Any humans not on the ground flood didn't have a ghost of a chance. But he has to make sure.) Each room he passes by is... bloody. Mavericks certainly have a lot of vitriol. And in situations like this, often enjoy playing with their food; so to speak.
He doesn't have much hope.
As he passes a room that isn't quite as bloody, he sees something that makes him pause. A woman. Very, obviously dead, but... The way she's positioned... As if she were laying over something. Protecting something. ...A familiar pose. One he's seen many times in his centuries of fighting. He doesn't want to see. Swallowing, X tears his gaze away from the scene and tries to move on. But the sound of something... whimpering stops him.
