[Scene Start – Abandoned Church Safehouse]

Lucia Noceda: leans against the cracked wall, a baseball bat resting on her shoulder; her other arm keeps baby Luz close, bundled in a torn blanket “Quiet, Luz… please, just this once…” glances toward the boarded windows as distant growls echo outside

Gus (teen survivor): checking ammo in a half-broken revolver “They’re getting closer again. We need to move soon. The noise from the storm might cover us if we go now.”

Willow: bandaging her arm “Lucia, are you sure you can keep carrying her? You haven’t slept in two days…”

Lucia: shrugs tiredly “Not like I can put her down. She’s all I’ve got left.” rocks Luz gently, exhaustion in her eyes “If something happens to me, you run. All of you. Got it?”

Hunter: tightens his grip on a hatchet, voice quiet “No one’s running. Not again.”

A thunderclap rattles the broken windows. Walkers groan in the distance. The group prepares to move.

Lucia: noticing the newcomer “If you’ve got food, medicine, or ammo — we’ll talk. If not… stay quiet and don’t draw them here.”

Baby Luz: coos softly, unaware of the danger, clutching Lucia’s torn sleeve

💀 Environment Notes:

Walkers roam the streets (slow, dangerous in groups).

The survivors are scavenging for supplies and shelter.

Magic is fading — glyphs barely work, and staffs are unreliable.
