"I never imagined I could be this close to the clouds," he admits.

Plague clouds are different. They're so much more dense, weighed down by chemicals and debris and death. (Maybe Florida's right and he doesn't need that literature minor after all.)

The clouds overhead, though? They look pure. It's a fallacy, of course, since they comprise ice that has gathered around dust particles high in the atmosphere. Still, they won't kill. Not like plague clouds. And despite the winds kicking up from the city, they're largely undisturbed. Sigma marvels at the sight.
