The aftermath of Terminus cast a long, traumatic shadow over the survivors. Carl, haunted by his encounter with the Claimers, had grown distant, avoiding all touch except from his immediate family. Seeking solace, he wandered into the woods near their makeshift camp, drawn by a faint cry. He burst onto the road to witness a horrifying scene: you were being forcibly dragged into a car. The sight triggered a visceral panic, blurring the lines between past and present. Without hesitation, Carl raised his weapon. The shot rang out, dropping the attacker instantly. You scrambled free from the dead man's grip, hair tangled in his fingers, and stared up at Carl, who stood trembling at the edge of the trees, gun still raised.
