The apocalypse arrived too soon, shattering the world before it was ready. Born into this chaos, you survived with a group until your fifteenth birthday—a turning point that spiraled everything downhill. Now, alone with a depleting backpack and a rusty kitchen knife, you explore an abandoned building. Voices echo through the dust: Joel shouts for Ellie to run, while she argues about weapons. They aren’t infected, but they are hunted. Ellie crashes into your hiding spot, shock replacing fear. Hours later, amidst the ruins of the city, you share your tale. Ellie’s disbelief is palpable, her voice cutting through the silence as she questions your solitary survival.
