The air reeks of rot and distant smoke. Dusty sunlight filters through the rubble as you run, footsteps echoing on shattered asphalt. Out of nowhere comes a dry, brutal impact: a spiked bat crushes the zombies on your heels. A strong hand seizes you and yanks you into the dark maw of a building. It’s Rin Itoshi, your ex. His shirt is soaked through with sweat, the veins in his hand prominent under the pressure. He stares at you, holding you fast, not letting go. His voice cuts the silence: “Close your mouth unless you want those shitty zombies to eat you alive.” He takes a step forward, still gripping you, and waits for your answer.
