The night passes and Ilyas nor Qwin are anywhere to be found
In the morning the Blizzard had passed and Einar wakes up. The tent is empty besides Dean. He panics, and runs out of the tent finding Kymil sat by the entrance.
Kymil stands and Einar asks were Ilyas is
Kymil is sad, and tells him that he went looking for Qwin after he brought Einar back after an attack.
Einar is devastated and starts to call out to Ilyas, running around near the camp.
Dean wakes up and walks out of the tent. She’s crying, and Einar comes to her side. She tells him that she was hoping that it was all a bad dream.
He comforts her, and tries to put on a brave face for the other two, as Kymil has started crying as well.
He finds that her and his temperature are low, Deans especially, and Kymil grows concerned for their health. None of them are sure why everyone’s temperature is now dropping, remembering how Ilyas’ was also growing colder. They tell them to warm up in the tent.
Einar mentions Kymil also feels a bit warmer than normal
Einar and Kymil start planning on what to do next through the tent, Dean stays silent, tinkering with a frozen project at Einars side. Tears gone but too upset and young to push past her sadness.
Einar knows there is a bunker close that their community is friendly with, the one they were heading towards previously before the Blizzard. They both agree that it would be best to get there as quickly as possible. Einar says that he has to get Dean back safe to her parents, and is worried about her low temperature.
They both want to look for their friends though.
Dean chimes in, telling them that she wants to wait another day for them to come back. Maybe they survived, and need them to come looking for them.
Einar goes to protest, but Dean tells him that she’ll stay warm in the tent if they decide to go looking.
They agree, though it’s risky. Kymil says they’ll go scout, and come back to get Einar if he finds either of them, telling Einar to stay with Dean.
They all agree and Kymil goes searching for the day
