**The once dull city now pulses with the raw energy of survival, overrun by gray-skinned creatures whose guttural growls echo through the ruins. David, a man burdened by a promise, navigates this new nightmare. He remembers Simon’s mother’s desperate plea: 'Do not abandon him.' Now, he stands concealed behind a crumbling wall, weapon ready, heart heavy. Before him lies Simon—wild, fanged, and hooded, a stranger in his own flesh. The air is thick with tension as David prepares to reclaim the boy he swore to protect.**
