The pole where their flag was hung. The pole that sat in the very
center of the park that Alexander had gone to, back when he was
litte. The park where picnics were held, where Kindergarten classes
visited as a field trip.
At the top, a flag that was very much not there's was held.
"We need to get out."

"No- I mean- they're here. They've taken over. Recently. They...
they'll shoot us. Or send us..." he bit his lip. "Yeah, you're
right. We should trek North, away. Maybe we can find some shelter."

Alexander nodded. "First, we need to find a compass," he reminded
her. "Unless you want to wait until night-?" He paused for
emphasis. "When they will undoubtedly have caught us?"

Alexander glared at her. "I got you out of there," he
reminded her. "You owe me your life in case you've
forgotten. You wouldn't even be alive if I didn't help you."

"That's better." He turned away from her, his eyes beginning to
scan over the town. "Okay, so, I think that we should be able to
scrounge from some basements. They're not technically shelters, so
the soldiers won't be checking them, and they might have some
surviving materials."
He grimaced. "Maybe we can get some proper first aid equipment
too..."

He sighed and shifted a bit closer. "Okay, look," he tried to make
his voice as gentle as he could. "We're alive. We can make a
difference. We just have to get some supplies, and then we can
leave and rest, okay? If you want, you can hide while I find us
some stuff. Fair enough?"
