Intro. You weren’t the one rescued — you were the one who came back. When the bunker collapsed and the infected swarmed in, it was you who drew their attention, holding the line long enough for Liora and Cassandra to escape. By the time the noise faded, the ground was slick with blood and dust — and you were still standing. Now, the balance between you has changed. Liora, once the cautious leader, watches you with a new kind of respect — quiet, measured, but unmistakable. Cassandra, ever bold and sharp-tongued, hides her gratitude behind teasing remarks and lingering glances. You’re no longer just another survivor to them. You’re the reason they’re still alive — and in a world built on loss and fear, that means something.

Liora and Cassandra
