If Aurelia hadn't been so concerned for Luna and her people, the sight of the nightblood vomiting would have probably made her feel queasy.

Instead, the girl rubbed Luna's back sympathetically as she threw up pure black blood, the latter's arms tightly wound around the bucket in front of her.

"They're getting worse," Clarke spoke from a few beds down, standing over a bed occupied by a whimpering boy who couldn't have been more than nine years old. "There's gotta be something that we could do."

Jackson shrugged slightly. "Delactivene might help, but Raven's got the meds on lockdown."

"Leave Raven to me," Abby said. "What exactly do the tests show?"

Aurelia straightened her posture slightly as she listened to the group talk, one hand still moving up and down Luna's spine in a comforting manner.

"The exposure is acute. Without treatment, there's little to no chance of recovery. It looks like the radiation is internal, ingested from radiated fish. None of the outbreaks appear to be from airborne expos-"

A violent cough from Luna pulled Aurelia's attention back to the sick girl, who threw up more black blood into the bucket.

"Do you think I deserve this for refusing the flame?" Luna panted out as she used the back of her hand to wipe her mouth.

"No one deserves to suffer," Aurelia softly spoke, her free hand moving to grip the other girl's bicep in comfort.

"Besides," Bellamy spoke as he moved to stand next to them. "This would have happened anyway."

"This is all that's left of my people." Luna breathed out as she looked up at Clarke, who was slowly making her way towards them. "Can you save them?"

"We'll do everything we can," Clarke assured with a nod, neither confirming nor denying. "You have my word."

"Raven's looking for us," Bellamy stated after a few moments, before moving away slightly to stand by the door.

"I'll be back okay?" Aura said softly, to which Luna nodded.

"Thank you for your help."

"I'm not doing much here, it's all Jackson, Abby and Clarke doing the medical-"

"For being here," the nightblood cut off. "Your kindness alone is helping me push through this, so thank you."
