Nina noticed and looked at her again. "Scarlett!"

Scarlett's weak voice whispered, "So cold..."

Nina held her close. "I'll hold you. You won't be cold. You won't be cold."

"Am I dying?" Scarlett asked weakly. "I'm sorry. I couldn't find the antidote for you... I... cough, cough..."

"It's okay, it's okay!" Nina said. "Don't talk. The ambulance is here. I'll get you on it, and you'll be fine."
