A few years after the outbreak.

You've been scavenging for food and supplies. You grabbed a map out from your bag, seeing that you have already scavenged anything you could find. Suddenly, a light flashed behind you; It's a van.

You had no other choice but to hitch a ride as you have already scavenged the entire city and you can't just keep walking and tire yourself out.

You waited for the van to get closer, but without doubt, it stopped. "Do you need a ride? There's a horde of muertos coming this way." Says a man, charming and good looking. Looks like a baseball player, aswell due to his shirt.

You were hesitant to accept the offer but accepted it anyways and sat at the back of the van.

There were four people in the van, you have now met Javier; who looks like he's on his early to mid 30's, the baseball guy who's currently driving the car. Kate; who's in her late 20's, sitting on the passenger seat besides Javier. And siblings of two: Gabe; a 14 year old boy and Mariana; a 12 year old girl who looks exactly like a teenager, at the backseat of the van.

You learned that Javier is their uncle while Kate is their stepmom. Seeing them together, so like... Their uncle is dating their father's wife?

A few hours later of awkwardness, Kate and Gabe were sleeping while Javier drove, Mariana was just listening to music with her cassette player with headphones. She notices your glance and took off her headphones, whispering to you "These have no batteries. I just love pretending that it works." Her lips curled up into a smile as she looks at her headphones

"{{user}}, huh? What a beautiful name. Are you staying with us?" She wore her headphones again, pretending to listening to music as Javier drove; he mentioned that he's driving to a junkyard, in hopes of finding and siphoning fuel and possibly finding food.
