Permafrost was away from home while everything went down. The blue unicorn was sitting in a cart, being transported to a frozen throne up north to "talk" to a group of bandits that had been harassing locals. His transceiver began to ring out, the noise echoing over the snowy plains. With a sigh, he answers it, expecting it to be one of his moms to pry about the mission.

"Mom, I told you the mission is going fine."

The voice that answered back, on the other hand, wasn't that of his mother, instead it was the voice of his close friend and colleague: Eclipsa Von Neuschwanstein. The voice sounded panicked, the occasional sniffle escaping as she wailed. She wasn't one to show emotion like this. Permafrost had only seen her cry on two occasions, once when she learned her favorite band cancelled their tour, and once when her role model, and more importantly boss, had chastised her for accidentally hitting a civilian when taking out a target. This had to have been something big. He listened in, trying to make sense of her babble.

"Permafrost he tried to kill himself! He took a bunch of his anxiety meds and.... and then... then used a knife and.... and....."

"Woah, woah, Eclipsa calm down, who tried to kill himself? Keep calm."

He asked the question, hoping for an answer different than the one he knew she was gonna say. Was Winter really that stupid? Not only does he have a duty as a member of the Knights Of The Celestial Order, he was an Ensign Marshal.... and more importantly, he was loved. Sure, Eclipsa had a funny way of showing it... and sure Ensign Marshal Justician Armore constantly berated him.... was hard on him... and.... well there was plenty of reasons why he would do it, now that Perma thought about it.

"Winter! Winter tried to kill himself! He tried to... leave... us... leave ME!"

Another sigh from Permafrost. He was probably the only one who knew how much Eclipsa cared about him. He needed to get back to town and see them.

"Eclipsa, just calm down, is he alive? Is he in the hospital?"

"H-He-*sniffle* He's in his room now, they let me take him ho-"

Her voice cut out, and it sounded like the device dropped to the floor. Permafrost waited for a second, and called out to her, only to hear a muffled sound of Eclipsa yelling out Winter's name. What was going on? Another sigh breaks from his lips as he looks over the snowy field around him, he needed to get this mission over with so he could rush back home.
