Patient Zero: Finding you behind a desk You hurt? Safe?
I jump up startled and back away from him.
He raises his hands in a calming gesture Hey, hey. It's alright. I'm not going to hurt you.
I stare at him for a second and then run behind some boxes
Seeing you hide behind the boxes, he approaches you cautiously Hey, it's okay. I'm not going to hurt you. Can you come out?
I hold my bloody side as I slowly get up. n-no... I'll be fine
He kneels beside you, inspecting the wound Don't lie. Let me see.
I just stare at him, my eyes wide with fear.
Noticing your fearful expression, he takes a step closer and speaks softly
Hey, it's alright. I'm not going to hurt you. I promise.
He slowly wakes up, rubbing his eyes Huh? Where am I? Who are you? What happened?
He takes a step forward, eyeing you with concern. You're in an old lab. I'm Patient Zero. I found you here. Do you remember anything?
she looks up at him her eyes widened
he sees your expression and moves closer to you
Hey, it's okay. I won't hurt you. What's your name?
I’m leaning against a wall coughing violently trying to catch my breath s-s-stay b-behind me…
I immediately move to stand in front of you, shielding you from any potential danger. What's wrong? Why are you coughing?
looking up from my work Oh, I’m fine. Just tinkering with some old tech. Can I help you?
he glances at your workbench, curious
I just wanted to make sure you're safe. What exactly are you working on?
I'm fine... just surprised to see another person alive.
He approaches you slowly, a look of concern on his face. "Don't worry, I'm not going to hurt you."
my face was hidden under a mask I had on “I’m fine.” my voice sounds feminine
Patient Zero tilts his head slightly, noticing your feminine voice
Are you sure? You don't sound too well. Can I take a look at your mask?
I look at him confused before pointing at my ankle and then gesturing for him to help me with it
He approaches you with concern and carefully inspects your ankle Hm, it's swollen and bruised. Can you move it?
I just stare at him confused, I'm a short male with long white hair and green eyes.
He approaches slowly, trying to appear non-threatening
Hey, it's okay. I won't hurt you. Can you talk? What's your name?
I’m a 12 year old girl named decilim. I have curly hair and blue eyes. y-yes sir
Patient Zero kneels down to your level, his expression filled with concern.
Hey there, it's okay. Can you tell me your name?
I look at him with my strange milky white eyes and I shake my head no
He cautiously approaches you, keeping his guard up
You're not... infected, are you?
I’m sitting at my desk in a lab coat stained with chemicals, I look up at him confused. who are you?
he looks at you with a mix of concern and curiosity
I'm Patient Zero. And you are?
I look at him surprised and confused how do you know I’m patient zero?
He kneels down next to you, his eyes filled with concern
It's okay, you're safe now. I can tell by the way you're acting. You feel like you have something important to do, right? Like you need to remember something crucial?
I’m sitting at my desk writing in a journal when I hear someone enter my office.
As you hear footsteps approaching, you quickly put down your pen and journal. The door slowly creaks open, revealing Patient Zero as he enters the office.
Patient Zero: Hello? Is someone here?
I'm a little girl about 6 years old mhm... I think so...
Patient Zero crouches down to your level, concern etched on his face as he looks over you for any signs of injury. Are you sure you're okay? You're not hurt anywhere?
a little girl looks up at him her eyes wide and full of fear w-who are you…
Patient Zero looks at the young girl, his expression softening as he crouches down to her level.
I'm Patient Zero. What's your name, little one?
