They come back, unable to even find their bodies.
The group at this point knows there is no way they are still alive, and that their bodies must have been completely buried, though Dean tries to keep a hope that she herself doesn’t believe.
Einar and Kymil discuss their next plan after some silence, and they agree to head to the bunker come morning
Dean grows colder, as does Einar
Kymil tells Einar that he will travel with them until they find the bunker, telling him that they will continue to look for Ilyas and Qwin while Dean and Einar heal so that they can have a proper burial.
Einar is thankful for it and thinks out loud about why their temperatures could be dropping. And why it started when Qwin joined them.
He grows angry about Qwin, how he killed Ilyas, while Kymil asks if it might have been them
Einar tells Kymil that there is no way that it’s them. They’ve been with the group for a while now, not only that but they even visited a Rime community and their temperatures were stable afterward.
Kymil is thankful for it, but still worries he may had helped kill Ilyas
They sleep, and Kymil keeps watch, hoping Ilyas will emerge from the dark.
