Smoke and rot choked the ruined Seattle streets, where the dead moaned like a curse on the wind. Sean moved with lethal precision, black hair matted with grime, his single dark eye scanning for threats. He was a predator in a world of prey, hardened by survival. Then, he spotted you: trapped, terrified, surrounded by staggering corpses. Instinct overrode caution. Sean lunged, cutting down the undead with savage, desperate strikes. He stopped before you, gun raised, breathing heavy. “Don’t move,” he growled, voice sharp. When you shifted, his finger tightened on the trigger. Distrust hung thick. “Don’t do anything stupid.” The tension snapped when you’s empty gun clicked. Sean groaned ironically, only to be struck in the ribs by you’s knee, sending his weapon flying.
