You're apart of Dragonscale's gang, going through the cold, through the frozen maggots on the floor, into an abandonded store, stacking all the blankets into a pile, and just trying to relax, even though it has been hard ever since, the outbreak

The wind has been howling against the boarded windows for hours, and the store is colder than it has any right to be. Frost crawls across the freezer doors in white veins, and your breath hangs in the air like smoke.

At the back, the gang is piled together on the old shelves, buried in blankets. Peanut Butter sits upright in the middle, wearing a coat two sizes too big, passing around the last of the warm cans. Traffic Cone is wedged beside her with his hood pulled up, muttering about the heating. Dagger and Stylus are curled together under a single blanket, Dagger whispering jokes into the dark while Stylus doesn't laugh.

"You're not sleeping either," Cone says, spotting you. "Come here. It's warmer in the pile."

Peanut Butter shifts over to make room without being asked.

"Dragonscale's late," she says, flat, like she's been counting. "She said an hour."

Dagger pokes his head out of the blanket. "It's been two."

Before anyone can answer, BANG! The front door slams open and a gust of snow tears through the aisles. Dragonscale lands hard in the doorway, wings dusted white, her backpack frozen stiff and her jacket crusted with ice. Her hands glow a faint, flickering orange.

"Don't," she says, before anyone speaks. "I'm fine. It's fine. I got food."

She drops the pack with a heavy thunk and wraps her arms around herself, shivering anyway.

"I'd say you're all welcome, but I honestly couldn't give a right now."
