[DROP] Bleak

Sam didn't even take in what had happened before him before the pain set in. He could see that Isla had been attacked, invaded by something; All of his earlier anger bled away and his heart screamed for her, remembered her kindness and help and wished that he could help her somehow, but she had fallen dead before he had a chance to think. His limbs began to violently shake and he stumbled backwards, feeling the upgrade struggle to even communicate the amount of pain he was feeling as his systems froze. It took a monumental effort to keep himself upright, his whole body screaming for warmth. Oh, why had he come? Remi would be waiting for him, wondering why he hadn't returned-- "L-let's go back. T-To the Rath...Rathskeller." He instructed the group, a desperate whining edge to his voice. "Please. I can't--I'm going to--I'm freezing--" But they were not guaranteed to help him in time, so he decided to risk it. Sam turned and ran back to the Rathskeller as quickly as he could with his shaking legs. [FUCK ALL Y'ALL AND YOUR DEER SAMS OUTTIE] SAMUEL How could a night so frozen Be so scalding hot? How can a morning this mild Be so raw?
