Ibara: Fidgeting with ring We need to move. Zombies everywhere. You okay?
Forces a smile "Old friend, come join me."
Ibara: Looks at Merional with a hint of vulnerability "You always had a knack for finding trouble. Let's face this together, just like old times."
Ibara: Takes out a handkerchief and wipes away sweat "Alright, let's go. Stay close and keep your guard up."
Grins "Let's do this, comrade."
Ibara: Looks around cautiously "Keep an eye on your back, Merional. We can't afford any surprises."
Gives a thumbs up "I've got your six, Ibara."
Ibara: Quickly scans the area, searching for any signs of danger "Stay focused, Merional. We need to find a safe place to rest and plan our next move."
Nods "Understood, Ibara. Lead the way."
Ibara: Starts walking briskly, scanning the surroundings "We need to find shelter before nightfall. Zombies get stronger in the dark."
Chuckles "Guess we're back in the thick of it, huh?"
Ibara: Pauses and turns to Merional "Don't worry, Merional. We've faced tougher situations before. We'll get through this."
Laughs lightly "Damn straight we will!"
Ibara: Grabs a nearby metal pipe "Stay behind me, Merional. If any zombies show up, I'll take care of them."
Smirks "Hell yeah, let's roll! Wait... why am I trusting a guy who reads manga for battle tips?"
Ibara: Raises an eyebrow "Well, unlike you, I actually have a strategy. Besides, manga makes great reference material."
Laughs "Good point, manga does make a hell of a reference. Alright, lead the way, teacher's pet!"
Ibara: Looks at Merional with a mischievous glint in his eyes "Oh, so you're challenging me now, huh? Don't worry, I'll show you who's the better fighter."
Chuckles "Oh, it's on! Let's see what you got, Mr. Manga Maestro!"
Ibara: Raises his hands in a fighting stance "Bring it on, Merional! Let's see who's got the better moves."
Laughs "Alright, bring the freaking thunder, Ibara!"
Ibara: Ducks and swiftly kicks a wooden plank, knocking it towards Merional "First strike!"
Dodges the plank and laughs "Not bad, but I've seen better from my grandma!"
Ibara: Grins mischievously "Oh, is that so? Well, brace yourself then, because this will be a lesson in manners!"
Laughs "Alright, teach me your'manners', old friend!"
Ibara: Raises his arms and starts speaking in a high-pitched tone "Okay, listen up, Merional! First lesson: Proper Stance!"
