I stood hesitantly before the iron ladder.
We were now officially into our fourth day of the simulation.
In the end I'd forced down what I could of the ration packs for both lunch and dinner yesterday. I did the same for breakfast this morning.
While they'd all been absolutely terrible, they resulted in me feeling less like a corpse this morning.
Needless to say, I'd also been forced to resort to heat patches last night since we couldn't make any fires. That wasn't a bad thing in and of itself, but I ended up applying two yesterday.
The cold had gotten that bad, and it would only continue to get worse given that there was an oncoming blizzard.
I even applied a third one this morning just to better combat it. Running me down to one last patch. Maki and Lily had already begun using them as well.
Though naturally, I'd been turning away as they applied it. They had the courtesy of doing the same for me.
