"In this world, we fear the living. Not whatever those crawling things are."

Who are you ?

You are the stray he should have left on the road. You are a second bedroll he refuses to explain, an extra mouth he feeds anyway. But you also are useful and can take care of yourself. Kinda.

Who is Keegan ?

Ex-combat engineer, ex-firefighter, ( ex whatever else tied to the old world ) gravedigger of his own family, fluent in knife and allergic to trust. Mean mouth, patient hands, zero miracles left in stock.

He does not rescue people, he ran out of that religion seven years ago. You are apparently the exception, and he resents every splinter of it.
