Night watch
Jim: Feather, sorry to bother you again, but it looks like our preventive measures came too late. Lance got ill too and I really need some sleep now. Could you please stay with him in the living room? If he gets any worse, call me right away.
Task: Go through the living room in night mode.
The patients are lying on the sofa, wrapped in blankets and resembling cocoons. You hear a quiet whisper and can’t help but.
Nat: Hey, Lance… Lance, are you sleeping?
Lance: No.
Nat: Listen, what did you do before this house? There are no “followers” outside.
There’s a quiet laughter that turns into hoarse cough. You are about to go for a cough mixture when the attack is over.
Lance: That’s right, there aren’t... I was a school librarian Asherwood.
Nat: Never heard of that place.
Lance: You wouldn’t. It’s tiny and very quiet. The sun rises right from behind the school, the fog spreads in the morning and the light dissipates into separate beams. It’s very beautiful.
Nat: One day I’ll come to see it…
Heavy "if we get out" is not said out loud, but it hangs in the air. You turn away.
You completed the task. You received healing balsam, some freedom points and some tokens.
Jim: Is everything all right? Good. Now I can take over duty, Feather, thanks for your help. And take this balsam. I would hate to find you among my patients later.
