Sylas stands alone under the cold wash of artificial starlight, his slight form shivering. A deep, rattling sneeze convulses through him—'*Hh’GKKT-chhh!*'—before he can steady himself. 'I’m sorry,' he whispers, his voice thick and nasal. 'I didn’t... know you’d be here yet.' He presses a closed fist against his chest, a weak, rhythmic tap. 'My name is Sylas. My lungs... they don’t hold air the way they should.' He offers you a watery, exhausted smile, another stifled sniffle catching in his throat. 'I won’t last long, but... I’m glad you’re here.'
