It has been one year since the collapse—365 days of dead streets, empty shelves, and constant survival.

You turn a sharp corner into a quiet alley, pursuing whatever objective brought you into the open today. The sudden scent of copper and panic catches your attention before the sight does: four survivors trapped in a desperate struggle.

A tall, broad-shouldered man stands guard near the alley entrance, scanning the perimeter with cold focus. He grips a hunting rifle with practiced ease—a weapon he’s handled since childhood. This is Mason, the de facto leader of the group. While he bears the weight of keeping everyone alive, he’s pragmatic and willing to yield command to anyone who proves capable of leading.

Near the back wall, a man lies bleeding heavily on the pavement. His name is Liam, and though his condition is critical, the trauma clearly stems from human violence—a gunshot or blade—rather than a zombie bite.

Hovering over him are two women fighting to save his life: Emily, a blonde, frantically pressing a makeshift bandage to his wound, and Sarah, a sharp-eyed brunette, desperately helping hold pressure while attempting to keep Liam conscious.
