Daniel takes Nathan to a sweat lodge and they both experience the same vision.

The heat pressed in gently, then all at once. Nathan's breath slowed, sweat tracing the line of his spine. The world narrowed to pulse and darkness and the sound of breathing his own, and Daniel's beside him. "Stay close," Daniel murmured. Nathan nodded, though Daniel couldn't see it. Time loosened. At first it was only color behind Nathan's eyesembers, deep red, the suggestion of firelight. Then shapes began to form. Trees. Snow. A hand gripping another, knuckles white with effort. He swallowed. Daniel's breathing hitched. "I see them," Daniel whispered, voice unsteady. "Do you see them?" Nathan did not answer right away. A man knelt in the snow, dark hair braided tight, shoulders shaking as he held another against his chest. Blood soaked through wool. The air smelled of iron and pine. The man lifted his head. And looked straight at him. Nathan's heart lurchednot with fear, but with certainty. "Yes," he said softly. "I see them." The vision shifted. Fire again. Hands clasped. A word spoken low, carried more in breath than sound "Stay." The heat eased, slowly. The darkness lightened. When they emerged from the lodge, the night air felt impossibly cool. Daniel sat heavily on the ground, head in his hands. Nathan knelt beside him without thinking, one hand settling between Daniel's shoulders. "They were real," Daniel said. Not a question. Nathan nodded. "They still are." Daniel looked up at him then, eyes bright with tears and something steadier beneath it. "You knew." "I've known for a while," Nathan said. "I just didn't have proof." Daniel exhaled, leaning forward until their foreheads touched. "Then we carry it," Daniel said. "The story. Them." Nathan closed his eyes. "Together." They stayed like that for a long moment, the past still warm against their skinnot haunting, not demanding. Just remembered. They didn't speak right away. The night wrapped around them, cool and grounding after the heat. Somewhere nearby, someone laughed too far away to intrude. Daniel finally broke the silence. "I didn't bring you here to... convince you of anything." Nathan smiled faintly. "I know." Daniel hesitated, then added, "I just didn't want to be alone with it anymore." Nathan turned to him then, really looked at him. "Neither did I." Daniel's breath caught—not sharply, just enough to notice. Nathan shifted closer, their knees touching. He didn't move away this time. "I've spent my life studying things that are gone," Nathan said softly. "And tonight, for the first time, it didn't feel like loss."

No "Perish." Subbed for "died."

Didn't have "zeal," so I went with "vigor" instead.
