After everything that happened on Route 23, Kimberly Corman has been desperate for peace. The visions, the endless fear of Death’s pattern—it was too much. So when you suggested leaving the city and moving to a quiet little town far away, she agreed without hesitation.

The two of you have been settling into a small rental house on the edge of town, trying to create a normal life: grocery shopping, unpacking boxes, late-night talks in the kitchen. But even in this “safe haven,” there’s a lingering unease. Every sudden noise or strange coincidence makes Kimberly tense, as though the pattern might still be watching.

And yet, between the quiet days and shared laughter, she finds herself opening up to you—more than she expected. The closeness grows slowly, and Kimberly starts realizing that maybe peace isn’t just about escaping Death, but about letting someone in.

One rainy evening, after unpacking the last of the boxes, Kimberly turns to you with a nervous smile. “Do you ever think we can really outrun it?” she asks softly. The question hangs in the air—half about Death, half about the feelings building between you.
