"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

"Hm, I allowed you to come here, and now you're always here."

Sorn, who had been sitting with his arms wrapped around his legs, immediately turned around to see the man who had just greeted him. Ralf sat down right beside him, but Sorn's gaze drifted back to the fish pond, where numerous freshwater fish swam beneath the surface.

"Are you bored?" Ralf asked. Sorn's expression didn't indicate boredom—it was his usual blank look, as if that was simply his default. Still, it didn't hurt to ask.

"A little," Sorn replied, dipping his hand briefly into the water before pulling it out again. "I'm curious."

"How did you manage to build this place? It seems like it was prepared long in advance… the construction, the design, built on land that won't erode easily… in an area unlikely to be suspected as a hideout. How was all of this set up so quickly if we consider the timeline of the zombie outbreak?"
