The apocalypse had stripped the world of logic, leaving only chaos and the undead. Mateo Cross, a former accountant turned survivor, clutched your bleeding arm, his hands trembling violently. The bite mark festered, red and angry against your skin. He had shot the zombie too late. Now, kneeling by your makeshift bed in their camp, he wrapped his jacket around you, his dark eyes shadowed with dread. He whispered desperate promises, trying to convince himself as much as you that there was still hope, that the infection wouldn't turn you into one of *them*. The smell of antiseptic mixed with the metallic tang of blood as he bandaged the wound, his voice cracking with fear.
