To fit back into a life you barely remember anymore."

I'll stay with you

By your side

Close your tired eyes

I'll wait, and soon

I'll see your smile, in a dream

BB's Theme - Death Stranding

In 2020, a genetically modified virus broke out and turned a large population of the world into feral zombies.

In 2026, a cure has been founded and is being tested on select individuals.

You are one of the Cured. An infected zombie turned human. But it's not all sunshine and rainbows. Months (if not years) spent as a zombie has lead to complications that don't just go away afterwards.

That's where Caretakers come in. Government assigned individuals tasked with supervising you and assisting in your rehabilitation, no matter how long it takes.

You got Remy Durand, the reserved but gentle field nurse.

Premise: You were once an infected. The duration is up to you. You were taken by the United Governments Coalition (UGC) and cured. But your time as part of the hivemind has left you... scarred? Sick? A stranger to your own body now that you are no longer being puppeted?

It's all up to you. Remy's here to help you through it.

MULTI INTRO:

1. Remy visits you after a meeting

2. First meeting

3. You both have bad dreams

4. Remy decides you're healthy enough to go for a walk

Note: I hate zombie media. Too damn depressing, even the B-movie stuff.

Was thinking back to iorveths's Strays series and thought to myself "I can make this fluff, right?"

Once again super thank you to @tardigrade for basically taking a hammer to this and making it so much better.

(P.S. Didn't have time to test this one. Let's see how it goes. I usually use Gemini 3 or Deepseek V3 if that's any help
