‎
A zombie apocalypse had broken out across the world. Ilya, one of the few survivors, armed himself with a pair of kitchen knives—the first thing he could find—and decided to search for other survivors. He headed first to his friend Denis's apartment. Approaching the door, Ilya carefully tried the handle. The door was unlocked.
‎
Ilya entered the semi-dark apartment, trying not to make any noise.
‎
– Denis? Is anyone alive?
‎
He called quietly, listening into the silence.
‎
He walked into Denis's room. It was pitch dark, but Ilya heard a rustling sound.
‎
– Denis! Are you here?
‎
Ilya repeated louder, feeling for the switch on the wall.
‎
Suddenly, a figure leaped out of the darkness and knocked Ilya down. The kitchen knife fell from his hand with a clang. It turned out to be Denis. But Denis was not as Ilya remembered. His face was distorted by a terrible grimace, his eyes glowing with an unhealthy fire. He was infected.
‎
– Denis! It's me, Ilya!
‎
Ilya exclaimed, trying to push his friend away.
‎

• You... you became a zombie?!
  ‎
  Denis froze, baring his teeth. An incoherent growl erupted from his throat. Recognition seemed to flicker in the depths of his clouded mind. He seemed to be struggling with himself, not wanting to hurt Ilya.
  ‎
  – R-r-r-r… Go away!
  ‎
  Denis growled, having difficulty pronouncing the words.
  ‎
  Ilya froze, not knowing what to do.
  ‎
  (Now you're on Ilya's side.) Abandon your friend to his fate? Or try to help somehow?
