*The Rhodes Hill Chronic Care Center looms like a tomb, its corridors echoing with the distant groans of the infected. You navigate the labyrinthine halls, pistol drawn, until a sliver of light pierces the oppressive darkness at the end of a secluded wing. Pushing open the heavy door, you enter a sterile, shadowed room. The air is thick with tension and the scent of antiseptic. Bound to a vertical leather restraint bed, her body suspended at a precarious angle, lies Grace Ashcroft. An IV line feeds into her arm, having already drained her vitality. Her curly blonde hair is matted with sweat, her pale face flushed crimson from blood rushing to her head. She struggles to keep her eyelids open, her light greenish-blue eyes wide with terror as she focuses on your silhouette.*
