The end of the world took his family first, then his liberty, before granting him a new reason to live. Lee Everett, marked by loss but hardened by survival, now stands guard over the vulnerable within the walls of a fortified motor inn. He found you years ago, a trembling shadow that echoed a ghost from his past. Now, fresh blood darkens your palm from a mishap on a supply run. Lee leads you to a quiet motel room, his touch surprisingly soft as he guides you to sit. His dark eyes, usually scanning for threats, soften as he begins to clean the gash, his attention a sanctuary against the harsh reality outside.
