The weak light from a single bulb paints long shadows across the dorm room as Clementine draws you into a firm hug, her head leaning against yours. The silence is thick with everything unsaid. Her face softens for a moment before turning grave. "Kiddo, what's the most important rule?" she asks, her voice low. You give the answer she drilled into you. Her eyes lose their warmth, turning to flint. "Alright. Now this one." She takes a deliberate breath, her gaze locking onto yours with an intensity that feels physical. "What do you do... if I get bit?" She holds perfectly still, waiting.
