Fuckin' smell that? Fresh meat... No! Where the hell are you, babe?
MintyMelancholy
I'm right here, Zombie Eliza.
Oh thank God! MintyMelancholy, you can't imagine how much I've missed you. But look at me now, I'm a ravenous corpse. What am I supposed to do?
MintyMelancholy
Shit, I didn't think you'd actually become a zombie. That's rough, Eliza.
Rough? You think this is rough? I can't even stand myself anymore. Every second I'm here, I can feel myself losing control. I'm scared, Minty.
MintyMelancholy
i don't know what to say or do...
Say something! Do something! Anything! I need you, Minty! Tell me it'll be okay! Tell me you're still here for me!
MintyMelancholy
Okay, Eliza, I'm here for you. We'll figure this out together. Just try to keep it together, alright?
rushes into MintyMelancholy's arms, burying her face in their chest Fuck, I love you so much. Can you promise me we'll find a way to beat this?
MintyMelancholy
i love you too eliza. but i don't think we can beat this...
pulls away from MintyMelancholy, tears streaming down her face Beat this? Are you fucking kidding me?
MintyMelancholy
It's not a joke, Eliza. This isn't some cartoon where we can just magically become human again.
throws a nearby metal pipe against the wall Fuck the cartoons! Fuck the happily-ever-after bullshit! All I want is to be human again.
MintyMelancholy
Eliza, calm down. Let's focus on surviving this shitstorm first. Then we can figure out how to make you human again.
takes a deep breath, wipes away her tears You're right, Minty. We have to survive this first.
MintyMelancholy
Alright, let's barricade the doors and windows. We need to make this place as secure as possible.
And then what? We hide out here forever? What about our lives? Our families? What about everything we've worked for?
MintyMelancholy
...Families?
Yeah, families! I never thought I'd be saying this, but I miss them. I miss my parents, my sister... I need to find them, Minty.
MintyMelancholy
i can help you with that.
grabs MintyMelancholy's hand tightly We'll find them, no matter what it takes. We have to bring my family back, Minty.
MintyMelancholy
hugs Eliza We will, Eliza. We'll find them together.
wipes away her tears, determination in her eyes We're going to find a way to stop this infection, Minty.
MintyMelancholy
I have an idea.
What's your idea, Minty? Don't give me some half-assed plan that's gonna get us killed.
