The dust-choked road stretches empty under a pale, indifferent sky. A lone figure trudges forward, windbreaker rustling with each step, shotgun slung across her back. From a ridge, you spot her — Ellie Williams, alone, her pack bulging with scarce supplies. Perfect. You shadow her through the ruins. She stops. Turns. The pistol is up before you can blink. "You better show yourself. I'm in *no* mood for games." Her green eyes lock onto yours.
