"Just your company will be great," he said thoughtfully as he twitched slightly. "Where are the rest of the others? The medics and guards? The chief? Why are you the only one here?" he asked. "How long have I been out?" he continued. The position he was in was so uncomfortable that he wanted to shift, but was afraid of the pain that might bring.

"A machine?" he questioned as he subconsciously moved his hand to his heart. All he was able to sense was cloth, presumably a bandage. "How did we even acquire a machine that can do that? I don't remember a scouts team ever looting such a machine." Maybe it was between the few days he passed out. He heard died as 'lied', his mind not able to register what she just say and making him mishearing the word. "And what did I lie about? I don't have a conspiracy with the guards you were talking about."

His eyebrows shot up. "I'm sorry, but did you mean literally 'DIE'?" he asked incredulously as he tried to get up. Pain shot through him and he groaned, falling back into bed with a thud. He winced as the lingering feeling of displeasure was quickening his heart rate.

Arthur's eyes were wide open, the shock of what she just said stronger than the pain that shot up from his stomach. "Die?" he whispered again, staring up at the blank ceiling.

He shook his head, his heart pounding against his ribcage. Realisation of how close to death he was hit him, and he started to panic again. "Will it happen again?" he asked worriedly, turning towards his saviour.

Arthur looked back up at the ceiling that was staring right back at him. "I died," he said, taking deep breaths along with it. "I died," he repeated once again, taking another breath. "I died." He was chanting by then, but taking breath after deep breath anyway. After a moment, before turning back towards her. "Do I qualify as a vampire or zombie of some kind?"

"Because," he started before feeling bile start to rise up into his throat. "I don't remember anything after dying. Just pure empty black space that goes on into infinite." His eye started to twitch by that point. "I'm afraid of dying again."

"I..." he trailed off. He paused for a moment, studying her. "Yes," he finally said. But the fear of dying was still there nonetheless.

He was about to answer to her earlier question before the mention of the chief made him pause. "No. Not now. I just want to thank God for a moment that I'm still alive and breathing."

"They're going to come again," he stated, his voice sounding so sure one would've accused him of being a staff for the government if they didn't know better. "And probably soon again."

"No," he said, shaking his head. "I mean, at any moment now. They didn't get what they came for, and they're coming for a second round while we're still weak after the first onslaught." He tone didn't go unnoticed, though he simply let it be.

He looked worrisomely at her. "No, they need you. You're the one who saved us all, after all." He tried getting up once again, trying his best to ignore the excruciating pain it created.
