[ Canada would only be possible if the two of them were to make it. Chris isn't sure what would happen if either of them turned. Maybe give Mafuyu maps of where he and Jill have put up their weapon caches and spare homes, but that'd mean he'd need to teach her how to get to and from on her own.

No doubt they'd probably be clinging to any piece of news concerning their daughter, but from the safety of their home abroad. Shifting uncomfortably at this spot by the counter, he finally pushes away from it a second time to lean against the rickety kitchen table to face Mafuyu. Head tilted as he keeps their sights locked. This was by far the most serious question he'd ask of her, considering how many years he'd thought otherwise. ]
