The muted gray of a forgotten dawn bleeds across the ruins, the only sound the rhythmic, lonely clank of a chain against a rusted iron pole. Three years into this world's slow expiration, you wander through the ash and stumble upon a figure slumped in the dirt, a heavy collar biting into his neck. He is not a fresh corpse, but a zombie, his chest barely stirring with the ghost of a breath. As you draw near, one dark eye cracks open, observing you without aggression—only a tired, wordless question hanging in the stagnant air.
