EVENTS: ________________________________________
Rosa stretches her arm, searching futilely for the crow. It almost there, almost there... Her fingers are milimeters away from brushing against its feathers...
Klimt reels back, head swimming in confusion. It hurts. Why did she do that? Why? She's... She's extending her arm, bending her neck to the side... Is she offering it to you? Is it a gift? Her body, for you? She's a friend. She's such a good friend.
Klimt takes Rosa's gift.
Eigla retrieves the Flesh, then grabs a set of surgical drapes from a drawer. Hopefully that'd keep the rain off her back. She runs back to the exit, finding Emilia sitting by the door, alone. ...Rosa sure is taking her time.

FRAGMENT OF MEMORY: CHAINS ________________________________________
The solitary cell floor was cold and bare. Uncomfortable, but at least it didn't hurt. Much better than the interrogation sessions. They'd beat and cut her, some times bringing out the electroshock machine, always asking the same things.
"What is your name? Who sent you? Are you affiliated with such and such organization? How were the targets chosen?"
Rosa is all she'd say, her callsign. She had no real name, in the end. The idiots just didn't get it - She wasn't taught to answer, wasn't built to know more than the bare essentials - Yet the torture continued.
She was indifferent at first, but then grew to hate that place. The featureless concrete walls, the lack of privacy, the abhorrent human scum locked in the other cells... And worst of all, the Gaoler. From the first day, she'd despised his leers, his mannerisms, the way his eyes moved about her. He'd... Tried things, once or twice, in the night, but whenever he came close she'd scream and flail and bite at him. He quickly learned to only look from behind the safety of the iron bars.
She heard footsteps. Guards, talking. Instead of the usual relaxed banter, however, there was an edge to their voices.
"You sure about this? I mean, this is a gulag and all, but-" "The order was given. They're all murderers or worse, they don't deserve your pity. Plus, if we leave them here after we're gone... They'd just come back worse. Now come on, open the cell."
The screeching of a cell door opening, a half-asleep groan, a gunshot. Then silence. The ritual repeated itself on and on, until the groans were replaced by screams, pleading, cursing...
But they didn't come for her. Even after the commotion had died down, they didn't. Until the cell door opened. The Gaoler was there, SMG in hand.
Gaoler: "Finally. I'm going to enjoy seeing you bleed out, ♥♥♥♥♥. Any last words?"
Rosa: "Don't do it. Take me with you."
Gaoler: "...And why the hell would I do that? You've been nothing but trouble. What could you possibly offer in return?"
She offered him what she had. Was it blood, bones? Or perhaps small buds or petals?
He took Rosa's gift.

Klimt choked and heaved, spitting out the chunks of flesh he had in his mouth, then retching up blood. He looked down, seeing Rosa barely conscious, ribcage fully visible under the remains of her ravaged chest. She twitched and spat blood, wheezing through her crushed windpipe.
What had he done? What had he just seen? Who was he, in the end? Were those... Rosa's memories? Had she...?
He vomited again, clutching his own arms to keep them from shaking. The rain burnt like fire upon his back. He had to go back. He had to bring her back.

Gently, almost gingerly, Klimt embraces Rosa's broken form and carries her back towards the stadium, shielding her from the rain with his own body.
Just as she dons her raincoat, Eigla sees Klimt stumble back inside carrying Rosa, both of them bloody and covered in mud. Rosa seems hurt, terribly hurt. She's also clutching something in her hand... A dead crow?

Re: Nechronica
"Please help me. We have to fix her. She went out in the rain, I came for her, she cracked my mouth with a stone, I saw red and I hurt her.
I think when we get hungry we don't know what's real.
We make horrible mistakes."

Re: Nechronica
> PANIC
Okay let's not panic. Rosa is hurt. Klimt carried Rosa back. We go crazy from hunger. Klimt may be hungry. Rosa has a crow. She was probably hunting crows.
Give raincoat to Klimt.
"Rosa was hunting for crows, there are probably more out there. Go find them and feed yourself."
Take Rosa from Klimt, and motion for him to take the crow from Rosa's hand. After he does, shove all Flesh I have stored into Rosa's coffin. Then take Rosa to the mass of flesh I found. Begin removing large chunks and placing them in Rosa's coffin.

Eigla: "Rosa was hunting for crows, there are probably more out there. Go find them and feed yourself."
Klimt nods, taking the raincoat, stuffing the crow into his mouth, and going back outside. The rain burns him once again, but he's too concerned with Rosa to care. Finding two more dead crows by the place he'd caught her, he begins to finally feed.
Looking up, he sees the front of Rosa's dress, then her skin, then her chewed and spit up flesh, sitting in the mud as a silent testament to his crime. He looks away, unable to bear the guilt.
Eigla runs back to the Kitchen with Rosa in her arms. The gunner meekly holds her hand the entire time. Arriving there, she deposits Rosa on one of the operating tables, stuffs the 2 spare Flesh into her Coffin, and starts to dig through the hole for more. One handful, two handfuls, three handf- *CHOMP*
Eigla feels the Flesh constrict around her hand, pinning her arm in place. She accidentally lets go of the scalpel, yelping in surprise as she is suddenly pulled in towards the small window. She tries to pull herself loose, but many sharp things dig into her arm, and several tendrils wrap around her hand and fingers.
She has a bad feeling about this.

> Growl. Plant my feet against the sides of the window, using the force of the Flesh pulling me to stand/crouch horizontally.
With my flipknife, hack at the things holding my arm and try to pull myself out.

...I still have my arms. Pistols, fire into the window.
