[The first sound to come through is wind in the background, and then Al's voice sounding guilty.]

I, uh-- I may have made a mistake.

[A big one.]

I was looking for the people that went missing, and I kind of lost track of time. It's so stupid, I've never done that before, I guess I've just been here so long that I thought I would never get locked out now. Shows how much I know, huh?

[He tries for a little laugh there, but it sounds a bit choked.]

I'm-- I'm really sorry. I know I promised to be there for some people, but I guess that's another broken promise. It doesn't mean that I don't think you can be strong, or make it, you really can. Whatever happens, I'll be proud of you all, even if I don't see you again.

[ He's barely listening to anything but the wind in the background, although he vaguely gathers that Al is trying to reassure people. Every part of him feels like it's on fire, and his voice makes it clear that he's terrified. ]

What? What, you went out looking for them? Why-- they're not just going to be deposited in the snow. What the hell is wrong with you?!

...Are you certain there's no shelter nearby?

You great big fool.

[There's something appalling in how... not angry, not even panicked Kesara sounds. In fact, she sounds drearily disappointed.]

What will I tell Steph when we have her back?

Frickin' hell. Al.

[ Zack and Kunsel were both missing and now this??? ]
