Biffle had a very bad feeling.

Part of him suspected that it was Death hinting towards another tragic event, but he wasn't sure if that was within her limited abilities.

Biffle paced in his house. Henwy and Sigils had left him in charge when they left and Lookumz and Loaf had gone to the river. The admins had followed them as well.

"You're going to leave marks on the floor if you keep pacing," Nico observed.

"At least half of the camp is gone right now, what if the piglins come after us?" Biffle exclaimed, continuing to pace.

"Why are you still worried about that?" Nico rubbed his forehead, obviously exhausted.

"What, you don't expect hundreds of stylized pigs with advanced weapons to find our portal and try to kill us after we murdered their only heir to the piglin brute throne or whatever they do over there?" Biffle nearly screamed at Nico. Nico didn't flinch.

"If you keep thinking this hard, you're going to hurt yourself," Nico yawned.

Biffle huffed and sat on the floor with crossed arms. Nico stifled a snicker. Nico stood and strolled over to his brother, sitting on the floor and wrapping his arms around the distressed man.

"It's okay," Nico patted Biffle on the head, "We have maybe two hours before one of the groups come back, considering if either group had a tragic event."

Biffle buried his head in Nico's chest and gave an over dramatic sigh. Nico snickered this time.

"Alright drama queen, get up," Nico ordered. The two stood up.

"Ok, now we are going to pull it together and have a good day," Nico gripped Biffle's shoulders.

"Ok," Biffle responded numbly.

There was a knock at the door. Nico opened it. In the doorway stood Gold, his arms crossed and eyes clouded over.

"Loaf and Lookumz are dead," Gold said numbly.

Biffle gritted his teeth and flopped down in a chair. He buried his head in his hands.

"So much for a good day," Biffle grumbled.

"We're one step closer to our goal, though," Gold responded.

The three stood in silence together, the weight of their situation making all of them feel numb.
