[ Several days after a fitful slumber was shared between two people, something appears in the vicinity of wherever Noah has since taken shelter. It's an unmoving rabbit, relatively normal in appearance with the exception of a bifurcated jaw full of rootless teeth. It has no visible wounds, but it's clear enough upon inspection that the creature has passed. It will not bleed if cut into, and the internal flesh itself also exhibits a pallor of bloodlessness.
There is no sign of who placed it here, but a single word is scratched next to it. ]
[ The connection cracks on like a lightning strike.
There is panic digging deep into nerve endings. There is anxiety caving in his core like a dark whirlpool. There is a sense that something profound has occurred. Oddly, there is gratitude too, and a boundless fondness.
Vastly more emotion than Ivan has ever allowed to escape from his void before. ]
