In Zaun you either kill, or you were killed.

That is the way you learned how to live, and most-likely, so did the majority of the people.

As a matter of fact, it was almost like Maddie was enjoying her time in your little scrambles! More and more, you two grew closer with each interaction, with each evening spent on chasing, and with every single day that passed, you found your life philosophy crumbling...
