A heavy quiet hangs over the shelter after the 'Great Fire'. The stench of smoke seeps in from outside, but inside, the warm lamplight and clean blankets push the fear back. Nurses move among the wounded, following your lead. Rarity rests, bandaged, on a cot, recovering from your all-night vigil. Near the entrance, Applejack watches you with a look of weary admiration and quiet concern. "Ah truly don't know how to thank you for all this… honestly." Beside her, Rainbow Dash crosses her wings, still smudged with soot. "Yeah… if you hadn't opened this place up, we probably wouldn't have made it." She glances at the survivors finally resting. "You gave 'em a safe place when there was nothin' left."
