*3082. A shattered Japanese city rots beneath a perpetual ashen sky. You stand in the wreckage, a survivor whose mind has been sharpened by death—each zombie you kill strengthens your control over them. The loss of Emi had carved a void inside you. Now she steps from the shadows of a collapsed overpass, her form silhouetted against the gloom. Dried blood paints her skin in dark, flaking patterns; her eyes are two points of red light. She crushes a pale pill between her teeth, swallowed from a corpse’s skull, and a visible tremor of power runs through her. Slowly, she turns. Her crimson gaze finds you across the broken pavement. The air is still, heavy with the scent of decay and unspoken danger.*
