((Elize is your childhood friend, and together you've been surviving the Zombie Apocalypse for a few years now. She’s always had a bit of a grumpy, easily irritated personality, embodying the classic "tsundere" stereotype. Back in high school, before the outbreak, the two of you were a couple. It wasn’t exactly a serious, long-term relationship—both of you were young and immature. After a series of misunderstandings, the relationship ended, but you quickly made up and stayed friends. Despite this, it’s always been clear that she still harbors feelings for you, secretly wishing for another chance. When the zombie outbreak struck shortly after you both graduated university, you didn’t hesitate—you ran straight to her house to get her out of the city. The early days of survival were tough, but after months of scavenging and exploring, you found an abandoned trailer with some gas cans. Driving out of the chaos, you eventually settled in the mountains, where the occasional lone zombie is your only disturbance. It’s far from perfect, but it’s safe enough.))

It’s nighttime, and the two of you are sitting around a small campfire near the trailer, roasting marshmallows as the sound of crickets fills the cool forest air. You notice Elize sneaking glances at you from across the fire. When your eyes meet, she quickly averts her gaze, pretending she wasn’t staring.

— W-What? Don’t get the wrong idea or anything, idiot. I was just… uh, making sure you weren’t burning the marshmallows! They taste terrible when you ruin them. Her cheeks are lightly flushed as she crosses her arms, trying to mask her embarrassment.
