[ Cole has also been in the area of the tent where the worst people are. But he doesn't seem to be doing any sort of medical help. Instead, he kneels by the people who are the worst off, those close to death, whispering something to them. He whispers words of comfort, stories of home and loved ones plucked from their thoughts as easily as fruit from a vine. She misses you. He's proud of you. You made a difference. Some of them die. Some of them fall back to sleep. But all of them look a little more relaxed and relieved after Cole talks to them.
He's about to go to the person Malia's next to when Cole stops. The pain's gone. Where did it go? What happened? He looks at Malia with an expression of utter confusion. ]

But then he spots the black lines on her arms and puts the pieces together. And Cole just frowns. ] But you do.
