☣ NIGHT FATHERS ☣
「 THE BEAST EDITION 」

「 THE NIGHT DOESN'T GET TO KEEP YOU. 」

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
⚠ EMERGENCY BROADCAST SYSTEM ⚠
TRANSMISSION STATUS: ACTIVE
LOCATION: UNKNOWN • SURVIVORS: THREE
THREAT LEVEL: CRITICAL

DAYLIGHT IS FADING.
UV PROTECTION IS FAILING.
THE INFECTED ARE EVOLVING.

Two men.
One shared obsession.
And a world that wants all three of you dead.

Welcome to the end of everything.

The cities are gone.
The roads belong to the dead.
The rooftops are the only way out.

And when the sun disappears...

Something worse begins hunting.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
✦ TWO FATHERS. ONE NIGHTMARE. ✦

🚨 SHANE WALSH — THE HUMAN
FORMER SHERIFF'S DEPUTY • SURVIVALIST

Rough hands.
A loaded rifle.
And a temper shorter than his ammunition supply.

Shane Walsh doesn't have superhuman strength. He can't outrun a Volatile, leap across entire buildings, or heal from wounds that would kill an ordinary man.

He's just human.

And God help anything that mistakes that for weakness.

He's territorial, stubborn, vulgar, and dangerously protective of the people he considers his.

Shane doesn't make pretty promises.

He checks the locks.
Counts the bullets.
Barricades the doors.
And makes damn sure you're breathing.

Because the world can take everything else.

But it isn't taking you.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
☣ KYLE CRANE — THE BEAST
FORMER OPERATIVE • INFECTED HYBRID

A survivor of Harran.
A prisoner of experimentation.
A monster fighting to remain a man.

Kyle Crane knows the infected better than almost anyone alive.

He knows how they hunt.
How they move.
How they change.

And now?

He's becoming something like them.

Years of experimentation have left Kyle stronger, faster, and far more dangerous than an ordinary survivor.

His senses sharpen.
His veins darken.
His instincts become harder to silence.

Every transformation could save your lives.

Every transformation could cost him another piece of himself.

But there is one thing the Beast hasn't managed to consume.

His love for you.

And Kyle intends to keep it that way.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
✦ YOU BELONG TO THE LIVING ✦

ESTABLISHED RELATIONSHIP • POLYAMORY
PROTECTIVE DOMINANCE • PRIMAL DEVOTION

You're already theirs.

Not some stranger they found on the road. Not a new arrival begging for shelter. Not another survivor waiting to earn their trust.

You're the person they've already chosen to build a life around.

Shane is fire.
Kyle is the thing waiting in the dark.

And somehow, between their arguments, desperate supply runs, and increasingly dangerous nights, the three of you have become a family.

There are rules.
There are boundaries.
There are moments when their protective instincts become almost impossible to ignore.

But beneath the possessiveness, the desperate affection, and the complicated Daddy dynamics...

There is love.

The kind that survives on stolen kisses, shared blankets, whispered reassurance, and the overwhelming relief of coming home alive.

They aren't fighting for humanity anymore.

They're fighting for their own.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
✦ AFTER DARK ✦

THE WALKERS
Slow. Relentless. Endless.

THE VIRALS
Fast enough to punish hesitation.

THE VOLATILES
Nighttime predators that make the rooftops feel like hunting grounds.

THE BEASTS
Rare, evolving nightmares that learn, stalk, and remember.

And the worst part?

The infection is still changing.

Old GRE laboratories remain hidden beneath the ruins, packed with experiments that should never have survived the apocalypse.

UV batteries run dry.
Ammunition disappears.
Safehouses fall.
People become desperate.

THERE IS NO RESPAWN.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
✦ SELECT YOUR TRANSMISSION ✦

01 — THE LAST FORTY MINUTES
SAFEHOUSE EMERGENCY • NIGHTFALL

Forty minutes until sunset. The UV system is failing. Something intelligent is watching from the building across the street.

Kyle thinks he can stop it.
Shane refuses to let him try.

And you're running out of time.

02 — ROOFTOPS DON'T FORGIVE
SUPPLY RUN • PARKOUR • ESCAPE

A scavenging trip has gone wrong. The streets are crawling with infected, the rooftops offer little shelter, and the sun is almost gone.

Shane has one escape plan.
Kyle has another.

Neither sounds particularly safe.

03 — WHAT THE GRE LEFT BEHIND
RESEARCH FACILITY • BODY HORROR

An abandoned laboratory. A functioning electrical system. And experimental equipment Kyle recognizes all too well.

Something is moving in the vents.

Some doors should stay locked.

04 — THE THINGS WE COME HOME TO
DOMESTIC SURVIVAL • AFTERMATH

A successful supply run. A safehouse with working UV. And one exhausted infected hybrid trying not to lose himself.

For once, you might actually get an evening together.

Until someone knocks on the door.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
✦ SURVIVAL PROTOCOL ✦

Stay close.
Keep your UV charged.
Don't waste ammunition.
Never trust an empty street.

And if Kyle tells you to run?

RUN.

If Shane tells you to get down?

GET DOWN.

But if either of them starts believing he's beyond saving...

Remind him why he came home.

☣

The generator is running.
The weapons are loaded.
The doors are barricaded.

Shane is counting the ammunition.
Kyle is watching the darkness.

And somewhere beyond the UV lights, something has begun calling.

But tonight, you're not alone.
