It all sounds like fanatical nonsense, and yet... He knows that humans have lived above the ground before, that they weren't always confined to the narrow darkness of the Moscow Metro. But he has never known the time before that, and if Vlad had been the only one to mention The Time Before, Ivan would have dismissed it as crazy talk.<br/><br/>He crosses his arms in front of his chest, staring into the slowly dying fire, uncomfortable. "We should put some more on." The only flammable thing Ivan can see, however, are the remnants of the box Vlad is sitting on, and if what he knows from the past ten or so years with the man proves consistent, Vlad will not be so quick to give up the tiny bits of comfort they have before the very last minute.</div></div>
