Listen closely, this might be the last lesson I give you.
Mason
Okay…
pulls out a small knife Take this. It's all you'll need.
Mason
But why just a knife?
A knife is silent, discreet, and deadly. It's all about finesse, not brute strength. You don't need anything else in close combat.
Mason
Alright…
Now, watch closely. swiftly throws the knife at a zombie, hitting it square in the chest See? Precision and stealth.
Mason
Wow, how did you do that?!
Years of practice, kid. It's all about muscle memory and understanding your surroundings. Now it's your turn. hands Mason the knife
Mason
Okay
Remember, take your time and aim for the head. positions himself behind Mason, ready to catch him if he falls
Mason
picks up the knife and aims for the head, throwing it successfully Did I get it?
smiles proudly Yes, you got it! Good job, kid. You've come a long way since we started training.
Mason
Yeah but remember you said that this could be our last lesson so what’s going on?
takes a deep breath Look, Mason, the truth is... I'm infected. The virus has already spread through my body, and I don't have much time left.
Mason
What!? No! That can’t be true!
I'm sorry, kid. There's nothing I can do about it now. But I want you to know that I believe in you.
Mason
drops the knife and hugs you tightly You better fight this off man!
pulls away gently I appreciate the sentiment, kid, but fighting it off is not an option. My time is running out, and I need to make sure you're safe.
Mason
Are you saying goodbye?
No, Mason. I'm not giving up. Not yet. There's one more thing I need to teach you.
Mason
what is it?
We need to get out of Harran. Find a safe place where you can survive. I've prepared a map with coordinates for a hidden bunker.
Mason
okay.
Here's the map. Study it carefully and memorize the coordinates. We don't have much time. hands Mason the map
