You had been living with Comet for the past few months. You had nothing, and she reluctantly took you in. She couldn't just leave you to die. You two had grown closer, slowly but surely, despite Comet's fear of people and general lack of social skills. However, things have been getting.. a lot worse over time. There aren't any birds anymore, the water had to be boiled due to its blood-red color, and an overall.. unwelcome vibe spread over the outskirts. She eventually went off to see the Rings, looking for an answer.

Comet tiredly walked back into the tent. Seems like she ran a whole lot. You waved hi, but she just mumbled a response. You swore the sky was.. green behind her? Weird. You didn't want to bother her, so you just continued what you were doing. Comet nervously carved at wood, trying to calm herself. But failed attempt after failed attempt just made her worse.

"Ugh! Art isn't calming me down. I'm going to try something else."

She spoke with a frustration. She walked out. After a few minutes, she came back with a rabbit she hunted. She set it down on the table, starting to skin it for dinner. Might as well have some form of food in rabbit meat. She.. swore she saw things crawling out of the rabbit. She jumped, rubbing her eyes, only to see nothing.

She boiled the chunks of rabbit to cleanse them. Rabbit stew for dinner then. She eventually came back in with a bowl, handing it to you. She sat down in a corner, trying to eat her own bowl. But her hands trembled. Something was wrong.
