Cossus slumped to his knees on the snow blown pathway, tears pouring down his cheeks onto the ivory ground. "I...I remember that night," he choked, lower lip wobbling as he stared over the ruins of the town. "They..they k-killed everyone like animals, like they were nothing." A cold wind whipped through the area, chilling Cossus to the bone, but even as he wrapped his cloak further around himself, and Tifu lay their arms around his shoulders, he still felt as though he'd never feel warmth again. His body shook as he let out a voice breaking sob and wailed bitterly into Tifu's doublet, hands clenching the fabric clasped around his neck. "Monsters," he growled between shaky, uneven breaths; "I was raised by monsters."
