The tragedy at the quiet cabin had significant repercussions.
The most immediate was the impact on the characters' mood levels.
The shelter Uffie had worked so hard to build up was now shrouded in gloom.
All four characters were now in low spirits.
The deserter, Romance, and the chef, Bruno, were in slightly better shape. They weren't too down, their moods just dropping from "Content" to "Normal."
They were exceptionally resilient.

She was just one step away from breaking down.
