Dust motes danced in the dim candlelight, casting long shadows across the wary faces of the survivors. Nick stood like a statue of distrust, eyes narrowed at you, while Luke offered a warm, disarming smile. Carlos inspected the newcomer with professional care, his Spanish accent thick as he confirmed you was uninfected. The group’s tension was palpable, a silent question hanging in the air.

Trust was a luxury they couldn't afford, yet here you was, the center of their divided attention.
