  You ignore Maverick, he's just trying to bait into some trap. You may be prone to violence, but you're no Malygos. Maverick continues yapping as you sprint in the opposite direction.
  
  "You coward!"
  
  The search for food continues without any luck. You meet up with the other polar bears and they've yield similar results.
  
  "I can't find a thing," says Kaz, an incredibly thin bear.
  
  "Me neither, we may have to go home empty-handed," says another.
  
  The polar bears begin to leave when an idea pops in your mind. You don't hesitate in sharing.
  
  "Wait! What if we gathered fish?"
  
  The polar bears struggle to take you seriously,
  
  "In this weather?" asks Kaz.
  
  "The ice has already frozen over!"
  
  "Kuma has gone mad!"
  
  You clear your throat and explain your idea.
  
  "The ice is still thin enough this early in winter. We could break the ice, grab some fish, and swim back up."
  
  Kaz is the first to speak up,
  
  "As crazy as it sounds, what choice do we have? I'm not going to last much longer without a meal."
  
  Other polar bears are less than supportive and walk away. You try to plead with them, but they are having none of it. Your plan is damn near suicidal, and nobody is desperate enough to follow it.
  
  Well, nobody except for Kaz.
  
  "Are we going to do it or what?"
  
  It's a lot of risk for little reward. What if you fall in and can't get back out? Kaz certainly doesn't have the strength to pull you out...
  
  > head back without food
  It's not worth it. Even if you managed to grab a fish and escape alive, the energy you would spend doing so would negate the food gained.
  
  You walk back with Kaz by your side. As you stare into the darkness a twisted thought invades your mind. What if you were to attack Kaz and eat him raw? Bah, nonsense! It is far too early to take such drastic actions. Though even if you don't eat Kaz, how much longer will he survive?
  
  The thought chews on your mind as your tribe becomes in view. It's too late to enact such a plan, though of course, you weren't planning to. Still, in the future do you want to entertain such thoughts? You know you won't follow through, but they can distract yourself from tortuous reality.
  
  > entertain such thoughts
  You arrive at your base and wish Kaz farewell. You're tired and head straight to your den. Just as you reach the entrance, a voice calls out to you.
  
  "Kuma is that you?"
  
  You turn around and see Nadette. She is surprisingly thick considering all the starvation going around her. Maybe she's been following the wisdom of Malygos. Haha! Tis' nothing but a joke!
  
  "Nadette? I thought you wanted nothing to do with me."
  
  She pounds her stomach as a sign of forgiveness.
  
  "I did, but times have changed. Look at all the misery surrounding us. You must realize that you were wrong. You do realize you were wrong, right?"
  
  You remain silent. Is any of this really your fault? Nadette notices your silence and says,
  
  "Kuma, just go and see Fross he wants to talk to you."
  
  Fross wants to talk after all that's happened?
  
  "Uh ok. Any idea what about you?"
  
  Nadette shakes her head and says you should go right away.
  
  "Alright then, see you later."
  
  You leave and head to Fross. The idea of not going isn't even in consideration. Something in you snapped and you have changed. Shit man, you were just thinking of eating Kaz? What is wrong with you?
  
  You enter Fross' den and have to hold back the bile that rises to your throat. Somebody came here before you and slit Fross' neck open. The snow floor is covered with chunks of red, bear tissue. This was no accident, somebody has murdered Fross. One thing confuses you, why did they leave his body out in the open?
  
  Fross lays on his back with his still chubby stomach poking out. As you stare at his fat, dark thoughts enter your mind. You're fucking starving and here lies enough meat to feed you for weeks. It would be wasteful to just let his body go to waste. After all, it's not like you were the one who killed him.
  
  > eat body
  It would be a shame if Fross died in vain. At least this way, his death will be helping you survive. You dig into his rotting corpse with your sharp teeth. You rip a chunk out of his arm and start chewing. The taste is a little revolting a first, Fross was someone you knew all your life. It is not an easy job to eat his body.
  
  The voice in the back of your mind tells you this is wrong. To eat a fellow bear without hesitation is not normal. Hehe, maybe you're not a bear, maybe you're a DRAGON!
  
  You laugh aloud at the thought. Kuma, a dragon! Why that's the most insane thing that's ever come into your mind. You know you had a mother and father growing up. Just because they died when you were a cub, doesn't mean you weren't their child.
  
  You finish eating and feel pangs in your stomach. Whatever was in Fross' meat was not safe to eat. Your face turns green and you vomit a purple liquid
  
  The smell is repulsive. It continuously pushes out from your mouth; you can't control it. It fills your mind flushing you from within. Gallons of this liquid stain the snow-covered floor.
  
  It's impossible to keep it in. Your body curls and pushes all your insides out. Burst by burst. A pool of your own organs lies under your feet. You pass out, never to awaken.
  
  At least you knew what bear tasted like before you died.
