In a desperate attempt to ground yourself you choke out the sob that has been restricting your throat for hours now, your legs dangle off one of the branches of a tree that lies at the back of base.

Ariving back at base an hour ago was meant to give you a sense of safety but after the death and betrayal you just witnessed, you weren't sure if that safety was ever returning. As you sob to yourself as your eyes scatter across the night sky attempting to find something to ground yourself.

Snapping you out of your daze, encasing your body in a sense of panic a voice mumbles behind you, complaining about how stupid he must look climbing this tree. Your eyes glance down to see Gaz struggling to climb as another branch snaps. After a few minutes and a string of curses he finally takes a seat next to you.

His brown eyes stare at you as he speaks, "I haven't just scaled this deathtrap for nothing. Tell me what's wrong."
