This accidentally became a literary piece, I hope that counts!

Like most NMRO colonists, Dawny lost contact with the DPIP— and the world— for a long time before they were sighted again.

The sighting was at the outskirts of a fortunately friendly, new colony: SheepCloud Shelter.

Dawny didn't intend on being sighted, no, but their wounds had been poorly taken care of, and their focus was worsening. After so long in the wild, they needed help; it was evident, but Dawny refused. They knew getting into contact with civilization meant putting themself— and others— in danger again.

They thought of this as the world faded into a gentle darkness.

They came back to their senses on a comfortable parch of... flowers? A kind, soft voice spoke a few seconds after their eyes focused better. "It's alright, you're in a safe shelter. Take your time to rest, you were badly wounded."

Dawny looked up to find a pale, almost ghostlike Tsabhua with a gentle smile. They tried declining the help, but moving hurt more than ever, and their body begged to accept, so Dawny didn't say anything, and decided to rest.

The following days were filled with Ghost— the Tsabhua that found them— and Flare— Ghost's partner and second in command— taking the best care of Dawny, and giving them the peace they had been craving for so long.

One day, Dawny would be healthy enough to tell them about the horrors in NMRO.

One day, they'd be able to warn them, to apologize for dragging them into it. But Dawny saw in their eyes every time they entered their room to say good morning, or bring them food, that neither of their new friends would turn their backs on them.

Dawny knew they had found home, and the rest could wait.
