What happened there ??

[StrayCat]

Hello all,

I was quietly looting some house in Milton, waiting for a moose hide to cure, when something caught my eye :

 

Is that really blood ? I see no other explanation. I've passed in front of it many times, without noticing. What the... happened there, so there's blood in a young child's bed ? The house is near Grey mother's, survival mode.

@StrayCat,
This is one of those wonderful details that let's us intuit a much richer backstory for the world we find ourselves in.

My take on it is:
...an injured parent came back (very much in a hurry) to get their child before trying to make the trek to the Coast (as it was suggested in the Story Mode) where people have been heading towards; expecting that a ship was coming to evacuate them after the disaster.

I mean, I wouldn't go as far as to say that the prisoners went butchering CHILDREN. But they probably hurt some people in the house.
