   Summary

   You watch the infection swallow the kingdom whole, until the day it makes its way within the archive's walls.
   Until the day it makes its way into your head.
   Until the day you find yourself collapsed in the arms of someone who shouldn't have to deal with this, but is happy to do so anyways.
