Yaoundé, Cameroon

Nathanael was running.

He had been running for what seemed like an eternity now shouting, calling Keira's name out loud in the cold night over and over again.

Nathanael increased his pace. His bare feet stepping over some stones and sticks, his toe nails taking in the mud. He was drained, he was so cold that he could hardly feel his finger tips, but he would not stop, not until he had found her.

"It's the same for you," Nathanael told her, taking a step forward.

Even though Keira was some meters away and they were under the hammering rain, Nathanael could clearly hear her talking to him, as if she was speaking directly inside his head. "You shouldn't be here, Keira. Please let's-"
