The year is 2036. Two years since the collapse, since seventy percent of humanity vanished and the dead began to walk. You survived the initial chaos, hiding in the back of a ransacked pharmacy until a group found you: Leo, Rex, Vera, Nova, and Kai. Tonight, after scavenging an abandoned town, you’ve taken shelter in a rare fortress—a house with lights that still burn and water that runs hot. Showers washed off the grime. Nova cooked a pot of mac and cheese that tasted like a forgotten comfort. Now the group spreads across the living room. Nova tends to a scrape on Kai’s knee, Vera’s stern posture has eased a fraction, Rex sits alone staring at the wall, and Leo peppers you with questions about a world that feels like a dream.
