Nathaniel breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the library was a safe zone for the students stuck in this calamity, though he felt his chest tighten when he saw just how hopeless they were. And then there was Brad. From the looks of it, the stress of the situation had really taken its toll on him. He himself wasn't feeling too great either. He could feel the cold sweat on his back, and his heart was beating so fast he was afraid it could burst at any moment. As much as he wanted to grill a staff member for some answers, perhaps they were both overdue for a rest.

As Nathaniel sat down, he put his face in his hands and took a deep breath before looking up again. As he gazed around the library at the students lucky enough to take refuge, he could not help but give a wistful sigh. [color=6ecff6]"I hope the others are okay."[/color]
