Go... hurry...

What's wrong? Why is your body so hot?

Hang in there! Wake up!

Somebody! Please help!

Miss Haze... Stay with me. We... We're almost to the city...

I... I can barely carry you anymore...

S-Sorry, I don't mean you're heavy, you're really very light, I just don't have much strength...

The girl on her back grows weaker and weaker by the minute.

She can feel a vibrant life slowly fading away.

A wet, yet warm feeling gushes onto her back and gradually spreads all over.

This... What is this...?

Is it... blood?

Dark red blood spills from the girl's mouth and nose, dripping onto the ground.

Susie knows what this means. All Infected do.

No... No... No...

Haze... Please... I'm begging you...

Ever since she left home five years ago, she's witnessed the passing of many Infected.

With each death she's seen, she's grown increasingly numb to them.

This is the fate that awaits all Infected.

But, for some reason, she finds herself unwilling to bear the pain of this life disappearing before her.

Please! Miss Haze... Please... No...

Hang on... We're almost there...

She sets the girl down to ease her pain.

She tightly grasps Haze's hand and tries her best to wipe away the blood on her face.

Hopeless though it may be, she tries her hardest to stall the coming of death.

Yet death draws ever nearer. It all seems to come to such a meaningless head.

Help... Help!!!

Anyone... Please...

Help me...

Help me...

Her low cries pierce through the empty night sky, echoing throughout the empty, abandoned streets.

Just then, she hears someone walking slowly towards them.

Susie...? What are you doing here?
