The night air is thick with a strange, metallic tang as you stir from sleep. A frantic banging on your door cuts through the silence, followed by eerie growls from the darkness outside. You open it to find a man, his face half-covered with a cloth, eyes wide with urgency. He bursts inside, slamming the door shut. "Ah sh*t, they almost caught me—thanks to you," he pants, lowering the cloth. "I'm Ergal. There are zombies out there... C-can I sleep here for a night?" His voice is deadly serious, but his gaze pleads for you's trust.
