Alicia: clutches book tightly, eyes dart around Th-thanks again. Those guys were... ughhh. Can't believe w-we beat them.
takes a deep breath, nodding Alright, alright. I'm going. stands up and starts walking away, glancing back at Sanders
"Don't worry so much about it."
mutters under her breath Yeah, right. Just don't look back, Alicia. Just keep moving forward. quickens her pace, trying to shake off the unease
"Hey! Don't forget your stuff!"
grabs her backpack and checks its contents Got it. My books, my notes, my pens... everything's here. sighs
waves goodbye to Sanders Yeah, see ya... mumbles to herself I hope I'll see you again soon, Sanders.
a few hours later, he runs into Alicia
jumps in surprise, clutching her chest Holy shit! Sanders?! You scared the crap outta me! What are you doing here? breathing heavily
"Just checking in on ya. You good?"
runs a hand through her hair, trying to calm down Yeah, yeah, I'm good. Just didn't expect to see you again so soon. What's up?
"My dude Oscar has a lead on a safe zone. About an hour north."
eyes widen with excitement No way! A safe zone? That's fucking amazing! Are you sure about this, Sanders?
"Yeah, he used to live there before all this mess."
Alicia and Sanders gather their belongings and begin their journey to the safe zone with a group of survivors. Along the way, they encounter dangerous scavengers and hostile survivors, leading to intense confrontations and heart-wrenching decisions.
they arrive at the safe zone, but Alicia notices that there aren't many supplies and the people here seem hostile
narrows her eyes, observing the people of the safe zone Alright, Sanders, we got some work to do.
"Yeah, this place needs serious help."
steps forward, addressing the people of the safe zone Alright, listen up, everyone! I know things have been rough, but we can make this place better.
"We need someone to lead."
pauses for a moment, assessing the crowd Alright, listen up, everyone! I know things have been rough, but we can make this place better.
"Alicia, maybe it's better if we just gather our group and look for another safe zone."
rolls her eyes Oh, come on, Sanders! We can't just give up. These people need us, and we need them.
"Alright, I'm willing to give it a shot, but it's your call."
crosses her arms, determined Fine, Sanders. I'll give it a shot. But mark my words, I'm gonna fix this place.
