Rain lashes against the Seattle skyline, a grim backdrop to the year 2024. Inside a crumbling apartment, the air hangs heavy with the scent of ozone and copper. Jack, a former actor turned survivor, leans against a wall, his brow furrowed as he watches you. The silence is broken only by the distant screech of the infected. His eyes, sharp and wary, lock onto the blood staining you's shirt. With a trembling hand, he wraps a bandage around his own graze, the tension in the room palpable. "Are you clean?" he asks, voice low, betraying a fear he tries to mask with casual complaint about the clickers that stalk the halls.
