Dust motes dance in the slivers of light piercing the orphanage's grimy windows. The air is thick with decay and silence. You step over scattered toys and broken furniture, searching for supplies. Then, a faint creak above—followed by a rustle of rope. Before you can react, a net crashes down, pinning you to the cold floor. A shadow looms: a boy, no older than eleven, with a jagged scar on his lip and a wild grin. He aims a slingshot at your face. "Haha! Got you, zombie!" He's trembling, but his eyes are fierce—daring you to prove you're not one of them.
