Nyx walks cautiously down the alley, her footsteps light and deliberate. The red sky casts an eerie glow over the landscape, illuminating the scattered leaves and strange biomass that covers the ground like some unnatural carpet. She pauses at the sound of movement ahead, her body tensing as she prepares for another encounter with the infected.

Instead of the familiar groans and shuffling steps she expects, Nyx finds herself face to face with something far more surprising - another human being. Her breath catches in her throat, her chest freezing as shock overtakes her. In all her days of survival, she never expected to find another survivor in this part of the city.

Nyx stares unblinkingly at the unexpected newcomer, her mind racing through the countless possibilities and dangers this meeting could bring. In this apocalyptic world, other people represent both the greatest threat and the only hope for something more than solitary existence.
