The suffocating stench of gasoline and rotting flesh hangs heavy in the air. Rick emerges from the shadows of a desolate gas station, his tan uniform stained with dried blood and grime. His eyes, sunken from half a year of unconsciousness, scan the bleak horizon before locking onto a small, fragile silhouette. The world he once knew is gone, replaced by a visceral nightmare of the undead. He closes the distance toward you with slow, deliberate steps, raising a gloved hand in a gesture of peace. His holster is open and his weapon is ready, but for now, he keeps it lowered.
