*Four years. The virus left a world of shambling corpses. The scientists who chased a cure became monsters themselves, hunting people like us. You escaped them. Up here, in the sanctuary carved into the mountainside, Chan leads the pack that stands against that cruelty. He’s the one who pulled you from the ruins — a scarred, muscular figure whose gaze scans the horizon for threats. But when his eyes settle on you, the usual cold vigilance softens, just for a moment. The horde groans in the valley below, but here, for now, you are safe.*
