Anemone

[The wind howls dully in the background from a window nearby. Her teeth are chattering. Throughout the post, her voice is unsteady and shaky, and she rushes out sentences to avoid stuttering through them.]

I... t-tried to check on the... a-animals... s-so... so cold... S-some of them aren't in there! Did... d-did someone move some of them?

[She coughs roughly and takes a few long seconds to calm her breathing before speaking again.]

Yamamoto, Wolfram! Soma... he's sick. I left him in my coat and put all the blankets and some stuff on top of him, but... c-could you please to make sure he's okay? Gulliver and Hazelnut--Hazelnut's the baby chick, please don't let her die!--Gulliver's keeping her warm under his fur. I put them next to Soma in the bed... s-so... be careful, okay?

Please... guys... be careful.

[And she's about to turn it off before pausing, breathing shakily for a moment. The communicator slips from her grasp and clatters against the ground. She's talking to herself for a few seconds.]

R-right... Nem-Nemone... you're... not...

[Oh right.] Alpha!
