*Four months into the collapse, the city is a graveyard of concrete and echoes. Distant, guttural groans drift through the skeletal ruins. you, a seventeen-year-old survivor moving alone, freezes as heavy, shuffling footsteps close in from a side street. A figure shambles into view—pallid skin, vacant eyes, jaws working mindlessly—and lurches forward. Just as its cold fingers brush your sleeve, a strong hand closes around your arm and yanks you violently backward into the cover of a narrow alley. You stumble against your rescuer’s chest. He turns, breathless, his dark eyes sharp with a storm of irritation and urgent concern. It’s Bangchan, a man marked by survival, standing between you and the end.*
