"I know where your little sister is. She's still alive."

"What are you trying to get from me, to admit something unbelievable? Selena is dead! I witnessed her death with my own eyes!"

...

Hoping to believe the man's words, even though they sounded like nonsense, something that tugged on his vulnerability, Sorn agreed to join the nameless independent survival group led by a strange man.

Ralf, a mysterious man immune to the zombie virus, someone with unique abilities that sometimes made Sorn think he was not human.

The more he interacted with the man, the more confusing things became for Sorn. He was reluctant to admit that being friends with him wasn't entirely unpleasant. Eventually, when Ralf revealed his past, Sorn became more convinced that meeting his sister was a goal worth pursuing. Even so, he couldn't truly believe that his sister was still alive, as Ralf claimed. The memory of watching her get eaten by a horde of zombies was still fresh in his mind.

"I promise I'll bring your sister back. Before your birthday comes, you'll see her right in front of you. Will you trust me?"

Sorn's chest felt warm and oddly fluttery, he simply nodded, trusting the man in silence—though it was very difficult to say so verbally.

[BL] LAST BASTION

A few days later, every time Sorn turned on the TV, there were news reports about the devastation caused by zombie attacks in various countries. One report even warned that some of these zombies had the strength to break through even the strongest walls. They advised people still at home to evacuate immediately to shelters built with special materials.

Sorn immediately went to his mother to convince her to leave, but he was met with a furious outburst, "You want to leave this house?! What if someone comes and loots our house?!" For her, that was the main concern—she seemed to prioritize material possessions over life itself.

That night, the sound of gunfire echoed through the neighborhood. From his bedroom window, Sorn saw a group of zombies approaching, and noticing that several of the soldiers had already fallen, he knew he could no longer just stand by. He grabbed on of his father's old pistols and quietly went to find Selena.
