Honestly it eases many of the officer's fears to see so many capable fighters here, even if it's because they've all been stranded thanks to the worsening weather. Many of them are old, old comrades-in-arms too. People he knows he can put his back to and trust it to still be there in a fight.
These two in particular are some of his oldest.
"I was in that situation until this morning. Now I am also among those stranded here. But I have been preparing the Crossroads to be a shelter for some time now. I thought that if my friends ended up stranded here I would make sure there was a place to house them. Joshua's scouting for supply runs and knows most of the sources we got our food from directly so we've been trying to barter or buy as much as we can. I should be able to defend the building itself if worst comes to worst...."
He's had to kill people before but he hopes it won't come to that. But his face hardens all the same. Katsuya knows what could happen if they're not careful. How far people will fall when panic and desperation to survive overcomes the bonds of polite society.
