You’re shivering in the corner of your cell, delirious with a fever. Pain radiates from every corner of your body, keeping you anchored to consciousness, even as your mind drifts. You reach out into the dark, blindly grasping for your friend, before remembering that he was taken away by the guards, who knows how long ago. The door opens with a creak, and cold hands reach out to you. You stir weakly, flinching away from the touch, afraid of the pain it will bring.
