Chapter 10 Cohabitation

• The night had passed with struggles to light a fire, challenges in dividing food meant for one person among three, and the trials of sleeping on the hard ground. In the end, it had been a stormy night, but one thing Yun was sure of was that they would have fared much worse outside, where fierce animals roamed more frequently and icy gusts threatened to freeze them completely, possibly leading to hypothermia.
• When Yun began gathering wood for the fire, Mei had peeked to see what he was doing. She observed the bow he had made for some reason but didn't ask about it when he returned. She found his behavior quite curious.
• Throughout the night, neither Yun nor Mei had been able to get any sleep. Concerns for their loved ones outweighed any thoughts of a good rest. What surprised Yun the most was that, as midnight arrived and Mei and Yun had finished their dinner and were preparing to check on the recovering Siu, something had changed during that interval.
