Einar recovers first, and Dean is not short behind.
They are given a chance to call their community, both Einar’s wife and child are happy to hear he is okay, and Dean’s parents are happy to hear she is okay as well.
Einar and Dean, now recovered from their hypothermia, begin to mourn without the fog of the cold in their minds.
Einar talks to Dean about their next plan. Telling her that he will talk to their community about them coming back soon, and to also talk to this and their community about what's going on.
Dean protests going back, confused why they need to go, it would take time to get back here, and that it would be easier to head to the source from here. It is closer.
Einar tells her that he thinks it would be better if she goes back home while he and a few others take care of this
She protests more, amd makes good arguments, condemning him for judging her ability off her age.
He apologizes, but is still concerned
She tells him to think about it, there is no way the communities will believe him. Just as they didn’t before. She was the only one who did before, out of everyone in the bunker. He, Kymil and her are the only ones who could do anything before something bad happens
She tells him to think for a bit
