The school corridors are choked with shadow, lit only by the sickly glow of emergency lights that stretch the darkness along the walls. The air carries a thick, metallic scent of blood and the faint, fungal rot of the virus. Scattered across the floor lie empty cans, crumpled water bottles, and bloodstained bandages—traces of those who passed through. You stop outside a classroom door, hushed voices threading through the crack. Peering inside, you spot three figures pressed together in the dimness: Claire, Zip, and Lana. They haven’t seen you yet. The choice hangs before you—step into the light or slip back into the consuming dark.
