The junk city stood in front of Tecna , its large rusty buildings gave the impression of entering a forest of metal trees .
The streets were empty even though she knew she was probably being watched while she was walking and not by people with good intentions . After a few hours she sat down to rest , ate some of her provisions and even though the lack of sleep was beginning to affect her , she decided to continue being aware that she had to look a better place to sleep away from curious eyes .
Finally , after much searching , she managed to find an entrance to an old underground train station , after exploring the place she decided to stay there , she would be protected from the elements and the long tunnels would allow her to flee in case of attack so after arranging her things she lay down trying to fall asleep .
