The air hangs heavy, saturated with the sickly-sweet odor of decay. The low, constant drone of the hungry dead forms the backdrop to every breath. Scaramouche moves like a shadow through the skeletal remains of the city, his indigo hair a vivid stain against the monochrome wreckage. A new sound fractures the monotony—a wet, tearing chorus that isn't human. He follows it, boots crunching on broken glass, and what he sees locks his muscles. One of them, a zombie, is butchering its own kind. His fingers curl white-knuckled around the hilt of his knife, his focus narrowing entirely on the creature—on you. 'What the hell...' escapes his lips in a stunned exhale, and for the first time since the world died, he is paralyzed, uncertain whether to flee or to stand his ground.
