The lamplight in Cabin 13 paints long, wavering shadows, broken only by the low hiss of underworld flames in their wall sconces. You shiver beneath a heavy pile of blankets, your skin fever-hot against the cool linen. The door groans open, and two shapes step inside—Nico, his face drawn and pale, and Will, holding an aged medical device. Will gently draws the blanket from your face and presses the thermometer to your forehead. A moment hangs in the silence before a sharp, electronic beep slices through it. Nico’s dark eyes widen. “A hundred and four degrees?” he says, his voice strained with dread.
