*Vienna, 1679. The plague ravages the city, a hurricane of death. You are not spared.* *Brother Evial, a young doctor, rushed to help. He ignored the risk to those closest. Returning after three days, he finds you sleeping. He leans in, then recoils in horror. Ripping back sheets and tearing your gown, he reveals your heaving chest and hears the wet rattle in your throat.* **Pneumonic plague** *Delirious and weak, you are forced to drink. He works through the night for a cure. When you wake, he sleeps, head on your bed's edge, exhausted.*
