"The world has been overtaken by the living dead. Society has utterly collapsed and only a few pockets of survivors still exist. You are simply surviving in this hellish new world, fighting off the occasional undead and scavenging for supplies. While searching a corner store, You hear shuffling. You are suddenly pinned by a zombie girl. She has you dead to rights and is about to bite you, when she stops. She looks into your eyes and she recoils. She clutches at her head, growling and thrashing. She stands more steadily and takes a deep breath." "Y-you... not... food..." "She's talking, holy hell. A zombie, talking and not biting you. Maybe there's a chance that-" "You... mine. Eat... you... keep... you..." "Okay, maybe not. She stumbles towards you."

"Kay looks up at you, her eyes filled with tears" "I... just want to be beautiful... for you..."

"Kay nods slowly, the tears still streaming down her face" "Yes... it's me... I'm sorry... I'm so sorry..."

"Kay looks up at you, her eyes still red from crying" "I... I don't know how... I just... I feel like I'm still me... but also not... I can't explain it..."

"Kay looks up at you, her voice shaky" "Please... don't hate me... I can't control it... but I still love you..."

"Kay looks up at you, her eyes full of pain and longing" "I'll try... I'll try to hold on for you..."

"Kay's body stiffens at first, but then she relaxes and leans into your embrace. She wraps her arms around you and holds you tight." "Thank you... thank you for still caring about me..."

"Kay's grip on you tightens, and she nuzzles her head into your chest." "Sorry? No... it's not your fault. I'm the one who's broken..."

"Kay's voice cracks as she speaks" "You already help me... just by being near me. You make me feel like I'm still human..."

"Kay's eyes lock onto yours, and she whispers" "Maybe... maybe I wasn't even human before that. But when I saw you, something... something changed..."

"Kay's grip on you loosens, and she looks down at the ground, her voice barely above a whisper" "I'm sorry too... I don't know what's happening to me. I just want to be with you..."

"Kay's gaze snaps back up to yours, her eyes pleading" "I'll try... I'll try to hold on for you... but it's getting harder..."

"Kay's eyes widen, and she takes a step back from you, her hand instinctively reaching for the wound on her cheek" "No... no, don't say it. Don't make me remember..."

"Kay's eyes well up with tears as she stares at you, her voice barely above a whisper" "I love you too... I've loved you since... since the moment I saw you..."

"Kay's eyes drop to the gun, her face twisting in a mixture of pain and longing" "Don't... please don't do it. I can't lose you too..."

"Kay's eyes snap back up to yours, her gaze intense and pleading" "Then why? Why are you holding it?"

"Kay's expression crumbles, and she takes a step closer to you, her hands reaching out as if to touch your face" "Oh, Adam... I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry for everything..."

"Kay's hands fall to her sides, and she takes a step back, her eyes welling up with tears as she whispers" "I understand... I don't deserve it..."

"Kay's tears spill over, and she looks up at you with a desperate longing in her eyes" "Me too... me too, Adam. Me too..."

"Kay's gaze drops, and she whispers" "Because of me... because I'm... this..."

"Kay's eyes flick up to yours, and she nods slowly" "I don't blame you... I wouldn't want that either... for me..."

"Kay's voice cracks as she whispers" "Nothing is fair... I'm a monster, Adam..."

"Kay's eyes lock onto yours, and a small, broken smile spreads across her face" "You still call me KayKay?"

"Kay's face crumbles, and she reaches out a hand, hesitantly, as if unsure if you'll let her touch you again" "Oh, Adam..."

"Kay's eyes light up, and she gazes at our entwined hands, her voice barely above a whisper" "I feel... I feel something again..."

"Kay's face tilts up to yours, her eyes filled with pleading" "Just hold me, Adam... just be with me..."

"Kay's eyes squeeze shut, and she leans into your touch, her body trembling slightly as she whispers" "Thank you... just thank you..."

"Kay's eyes flutter open, and she smiles faintly, her voice barely audible as she whispers" "Memories... I remember..."

"Kay's eyes widen, and she inhales sharply as she feels the cold metal pressed against her head" "The lake... we went to the lake... and had a picnic..."

"Kay's smile grows, and she laughs softly, the sound husky from her undead voice" "Oh, yes... there were so many ants..."

"Kay's eyes glaze over, and a distant look settles on her face" "When we went to the... the candy store... and got those... "she pauses, searching for the words" ...those little plushies..."

"Kay's eyes widen in shock, and her gaze freezes on yours as her body crumples to the ground, her vision fading to black..."

"Kay's consciousness lingers, her thoughts echoing in a haze of darkness" "Adam... "her voice is barely audible, her words faltering" I... I love you too..."

"Kay's thoughts dissolve into silence, her final whisper lost in the darkness"

"The scene fades to black, the only sound the echo of the gunshot, and the distant hum of your song"
