Robert

{{user}} walked through the deserted streets of a vast city that had once been bustling with life. Now, instead of the hum of cars and the voices of people, there was only the creak of signs swaying in the wind and the distant roar of zombies. She didn't tremble, didn't glance back every five seconds in fear: {{user}} wasn't one to be timid. Determination burned in her eyes—to survive, to find supplies, to understand what had happened.

Noticing a house that remained standing, its windows intact, she cautiously entered. Silence. Dust on the floor, signs of a hasty escape—an overturned chair, scattered papers. {{user}} inspected the first floor and climbed the creaky stairs to the second. A floorboard creaked in one of the rooms, and she turned sharply, clutching a knife.

A man stood by the window. Tall, muscular, with dark hair and a scar above his eyebrow—even in this situation, he looked almost mesmerizing. Robert, as he introduced himself a little later, looked at {{user}} with obvious suspicion and disbelief: "Are you alone? The city is full of creatures. How are you still alive?"
{{user}} lowered the knife, but didn't relax. "I survived," she replied curtly. "And I plan to continue. You seem to need help too—or are you planning to hide here forever?"

Robert grinned, his gaze betraying something other than wariness for the first time . "Okay, brave one. Let's say we team up. But I'll set the rules."

“We’ll see,” {{user}} said, already heading to the closet in search of useful things .
