The ice isn't the only thing cracking right now. Spring storms can be violent, and the thunder is strong enough to reverberate in your chest. Outside of the chilly cave, a torrential downpour makes it nearly impossible to leave the cave and get your bearings. However, through the weather, and past the giant things that seem to be moving in the weather, something large looms in the distance.

The rain and the moving things make it hard to be sure, and you can't even see the horizon line, so it's either a very large body of water, some sort of man-made structure off in the distance, or both. Until the storm clears, no one can be sure which it is.

1. Someone, though, their voice just barely echoing off the walls, seems to be coming up with theories. Is it you? Do you think this is a waste of time?

2. Are you trying to go out into the hostile weather, risks be damned? Is it because you don't care? Do you think you can survive it?

3. Being trapped in a cave full of people stuck in pillars of ice is weird, isn't it? Isn't it even weirder that you used to be in one and now you're not? Are you going to help the others trapped in the ice? It should be warned that trying to break someone out when they're not awake to help will shatter the pillar, and the person inside.

4. As the storm clears up, night has fallen. Thunder booms in the distance and the sound of insects and wild animals picks up. Wolves howl in the darkness. Is now the time to make a move, or are you going to stay in this uncomfortable, but untouched, shelter?

[Ryou, meanwhile, has managed to somewhat break himself out of his pillar, but he's having trouble finishing the job, with his legs still stuck. He's just considering if he should wait and see if some of the remaining ice will melt when Bruno offers help.]

Alright! [He holds out his hand, hoping that whatever's going on here, he can at least get out of this ice.]

[ Bruno grasps the offered hand and... decides it's time for his best Assess The Situation. There's not much to assess really - Ryou's legs are encased in ice. It might be a complication, but it's sure not complicated. Hm! Alright, what next? ]

Can... you wiggle your toes?

[ Bruno's dramatic tone just makes the question sound weird. ]

[Ryou blinks at Bruno's tone, but tries, and - yes, he can wiggle his toes. There's not much wiggle room, but there's something.]

Yes, a little! [Emboldened by this, he struggles against the ice some more, not really getting far in the process.]

Excellent!

[ It is heartening news - he still can't think of any speedy solutions though. Ah well. ]

Keep wiggling them! Try to shift your feet, then legs - not all at once, just little by little. I'll be here to help you keep your balance!

[ Sure enough he maintains a steadying grip on Ryou's hand, ready to offer more support should Ryou start to fall or anything. The dramatic tone continues to sound odd.

Bruno finds himself questioning whether this is really a situation that calls for Hernando. HM.
