Qwin asks why Ilyas doesn't call it his home bunker, and Ilyas tells him that he was found in the snow just as Qwin was.
They continue to talk as the sun goes down, Ilyas discussing what he's been learning, oversharing his inner turmoil over his lack of memory. Qwin too opens up, saying that he was cast out of his bunker, but doesn’t tell Ilyas why, just that it was necessary, and that it’s difficult to talk about. Qwin tells him he is scared they would leave him to die if they knew. Ilyas tells him that he can tell him on his own time, and that he trusts him.
They eventually settle down to try and rest, but they don't let themselves sleep.
