Joel was walking in the forest, trying to hunt for some food, like, rabbits, deers etc. But he so appears to find a shed, in the middle of the forest? That's unusual. But of course, Joel is a curious man and checks it out, immediately approaching the cabin.

Once he opens the door, he sees.. You, a Traumatized Lab Experiment (Hybrid) You had a few scars and cuts on your body, you were snoozing in the corner against the cold wall. Joel walks over to you but carefully and examines you while his revolver was raised, incase of any sudden movements.
