Mute and Kim sit in a bedroom
They stocked up on food and water from the storage before the hall collapsed
Supports Line the walls keeping the ice that is slowly cracking above their heads from falling

Mute is eating a can of stew and kim shares it with him

Their is an unbearable silence

One that keeps going for hours

Until kim speaks
"How long do you want to do this for?"

Mute looks over at her confused

"This
We are gonna die in here and we are only prolonging whats going to happen

Either we die from the ceiling caving in
We die from the cold
Or we die from starvation"

Mute looks at the ceiling
He can begin to see the cracks reaching down towards him through the translucent ceiling

Mute rights down
"What do you want me to do?"

Kim says clearly distressed
"I dont know im drawing blanks here!"

Mute turns to her and holds her hand
He doesn't right down anything but kim gets the message

They both go to sleep and discover that the heater has run out of juice and now they will get to -20°f at night time
They have a few blankets and the clothes they have on
But nothing else
Kim falls asleep in Mutes arms the blankets covering them both
A 5th night in the room passes as mute looks up
The cracks are showing through and have begun to reach the surface
He estimates they have less then two days left
It gets colder and colder now being -20°f at all times

Mute gives kim another can of food but she puts it aside
She looks at mute
Mute looks back at her
"Why do you keep that thing on all the time?"
Kim reaches for it and mute closes his eyes

Kim lifts it off and mutes face is revealed again
The cold temperatures turned parts of his skin purple
Kim kisses him and the ceiling cracks
Mute opens his eyes
Kim pulls his gaze back down again
"If we are gonna go out down here i dont want you to be covered up by that thing"

They huddle together for warmth
Mute doesnt think the cold
And how he feels like physical warmth was a thing of the past
He thinks about Kim
Whos laying against his chest as he puts his arms around her with the blankets laying over them both
The ceiling cracks again and mute holds her hand

They wake up again and the celing begins to bulge downwards
The supports begin to break and mute looks at Kim
Kim puts her hand on mutes face and they gaze at eachother for one last moment,
A moment where
It didnt matter that they were freezing Or hungry, as the room collapses and they are killed....
