Miku wasn't heavy by a longshot, but Sousuke was starting to feel as though they had been walking for much longer than he had anticipated. There should have been a road or some sort of landmark by now. He couldn't afford to show that he was nervous, though. He had to keep up appearances for the sake of Allelujah and Miku. If either of them knew that he was having second thoughts about this operation, they would realize that they were lost in the fog and possibly panic. So he pressed on, still keeping a hold of Allelujah's sleeve, determined to find something.
