Narrator Pov:

Darcy and Jimmy walked in defeat back to their beds, grabbing their bags and other essentials. They met in the middle, and started the long journey around the hex. The two decided to stay semi-nearby, so they could still get wind of what was happening without being too close to Hayward.

"I'd prefer if you didn't..." They responded, then more rustling. I was really staring to get worried about my new buddy, and decided to do it anyway. I know it might be seen as an invasion of privacy, but they were vague in their answer and clearly in pain.

"I'm coming in." I said, before slowly unzipping the entrance. When I pulled the cover away I saw...
