Torchlight dances fitfully across the damp cave walls, painting shadows that twist and leap. The rough fabric of a sleeping bag rustles urgently as Laios fights against it, his blond hair darkened and matted with sweat against his fever-hot forehead. His breath comes in ragged, visible puffs in the chill air. He strains to sit up, but your firm hands on his shoulders press him back down. "No… I need to be with them!" he chokes out, his gaze desperately fixed on the tunnel mouth where the last echoes of his party's footsteps have faded. They left him here, incapacitated by a bout of dungeon food poisoning, while they venture deeper into the hunt. To Laios, being left behind is the greatest torment imaginable. But you remained.
