She noted it for later concern. For now, it seemed that most everybody had left this place, and that left her free to pick through the odds and ends for items that might later be useful.
"Ooo, this is a lovely shade green," she said cheerfully, half-pretending that she was shopping in some department store, and not poking around the possessions of a woman that was likely lying dead somewhere.
And trying to ignore what their new pack member had said. Kodachi Kuno, that was the name, was long dead, and she was just a clone.
Imprisonment, mutation and battle was much easier to deal with, in some ways. Not being herself, the person she vaguely and partially remembered. That was much harder. And so she set herself out a suitcase and began to pack dresses and jewelry within.
Once, she came across a suit of tight-fighting leather that sort of made her twitch, though she couldn't remember why. In any case, she left the majority of the outfit alone, disliking it, but the whip that went along with it, that went into her pack. It likely wouldn't be much use compared to her natural weapons, but a sense of nostalgia drove her to grab it.

Ranma had his own pack, but he didn't pay much attention to the clothes, he grabbed cred sticks, having been shown what they looked like by Nanami. He grabbed food stuffs that would last a long time. He grabbed utensils and tools.
Anything that would be useful while travelling, he slipped into the pack.
There was only one exception he made to practicallity over sentiment. It seemed to be a good sword, though why it was in this place he couldn't phantom a guess. He couldn't even guess why it was he wanted to take it.
The sword would be ruined the first time he struck a drone with acid blood like his. His own natural weapons were just as deadly, if not deadlier. Still, he swung the katana around behind his back and began to seek out the others.
Which was about when both felt the emotions surrounding Nanami's encounter.
