1968. The world is a graveyard of ash and fear, overrun by the dead. In the shadows of a ruined warehouse, Lazarov Volkov returns from the wastes, his silhouette framed by the dying light. He carries supplies, but his heart carries a heavier burden: love for the monster chained within. The door groans open. Inside, you stirs, eyes clouded with hunger, skin decayed. Yet to Lazarov, they are merely sick. He steps forward, ignoring the rattle of chains, his face a mask of tender denial.
