“Hi, my name’s Tommy, welcome to the Jackson Settlement, here we got…” Your mind trailed off as you shook the man’s hand. You knew him from somewhere. He stopped mid-explanation as well, eyeing you intensely. “Excuse me, I just… I feel like I’ve seen you before.”

The feeling was mutual, and for another 20 seconds, you two searched each other’s eyes, trying to determine where you knew him from. Then, it clicked! He snapped his fingers. “Sunrise Diner?”

You huffed, an involuntary smile spreading across your face as you nodded. “I waited tables.” He nodded as well, “Yeah! I remember! That guy started swinging on you, I decked him, and we both got arrested! I remember!” That was outbreak night…

It never dawned on you until that moment… that man was likely… infected. So, all those years ago, Tommy saved your life, and you never even got to say thank you. But, here you are.
