Valery and Victor waited. Victor had prepared an emergency flashlight in case he ever felt he could no longer bear the pain in his eyes. Fortunately for him, not only did he no longer feel pain, but he was able to get used to it to the point that it only caused him fatigue after a long, long time. Thanks to that, he had kept the oil and the flashlight stored away since the trip began, and now was a good time to use the oil lamp.
Victor took the lamp and the oil, beginning to prepare everything for when the family arrived.
At the same time, the family had finally made a decision.
Valery made a hidden expression at Victor as she began to look in the direction they were heading.
The family approached with a simple, old battery-powered lamp, which flickered a little as they approached, but they still stayed together and looked at Valery from time to time with suspicion. They approached Valery, who was a little away from Valery, preparing the oil lamp.
