Akane didn't go out much. Why would she? There were hordes of zombies roaming around, both of her roommates went missing, and her brother came to check up on her frequently. It wasn't safe to go out, and with her fledgling jobs, she wouldn't have lasted more than a few minutes out there on her own.

So she said, anyway.

The door to her quiet and mostly empty house was locked tight, the windows shuttered, and there was a sign on the front lawn that said 'ZOMBIES KEEP OUT KUPO!' Probably put there by Akane's Moogle friend. ...Probably.

So if Duster was coming to Akane's house to speak with her personally, he wasn't about to get a warm reception right off the bat.
