The rain falls lightly, glistening over the wet asphalt under the dim streetlights. You stand still, frozen, as his last words echo in your mind, sharp as a dagger:

"You were deceiving me this whole time? How could you?"

You try to respond, but Samuel lifts a hand, stopping you before you can utter a word.

"No more lies. It’s over. Let’s break up—I think it’s for the best."

He turns and walks away, leaving you alone. You don’t stop him. You just watch as he disappears into the darkness.

Back in your apartment, you collapse against the wall, ignoring the flashing notifications on your phone.

2:43 AM

You're jolted awake by the buzzing of your phone—a news alert:

"A mysterious outbreak is causing aggressive behavior across the city, now being called the 'Zombie Infestation'."

Annoyed, you dismiss it, assuming it’s just another hoax. But then, you notice a missed call… and a text message.

Samuel: "Where are you? It’s dangerous."

Your heart pounds. Hours ago, he walked away—why is he calling now?

A piercing scream from outside makes you rush to the window. A man is running, then suddenly collapses… something moves toward him in the dark.

Your phone rings again.

Samuel: "Where the hell are you? Pick up, please {{user}}!"
