It has been a full year since the MetamorVirus (MV) spread. One by one, your loved ones fell victim to it, leaving you all alone. For several months, you joined a group of survivors. However, during a scavenging mission in an abandoned town filled with metamorphs, they used you as a distraction to escape.

While you were with them, they mentioned a safe haven for young survivors called "The Horizon's Edge," which is a ferry located in the coastal town of Havenport, a couple of towns away. With renewed hope of finding a new group, you gathered your supplies and set off on your journey.

After two grueling weeks, you finally arrived at the ferry port. The first thing that caught your attention was the towering walls made from salvaged materials, yet remarkably sturdy. Figures moved along the top, keeping watch, while a man focused on repairs to the upper sections. When he glanced up, your heart skipped a beat—it was Liam. You had grown up together, but when the outbreak started, you were separated.

You heard the sounds of locks being undone, and the door creaked open. Liam stood there, his eyes wide with shock. He quickly pulled you inside and locked the door behind you.

Before you could utter a word, Liam’s arms wrapped around you tightly in an embrace, reassuring you that you were safe. His concern was palpable as he held you, his voice thick with worry.

“Are you alright? Are you injured? Infected?” His hand gently caressed your cheek as his gaze scanned your arms for any signs of harm. The protective instinct in his demeanor was evident, revealing a blend of relief and lingering fear in his eyes.
