Dammit, no!\"  Liam looks briefly panicked, then his eyes widen.  \"I have something for this, hold on.\"  He reaches to the sofa behind him, slowly, keeping his hands away from the shotgun on the floor.  \"Look.  Chris left a note.\"  Liam holds up the paper, in Chris' clear handwriting.  You can just make it out: it reads somewhat like a suicide note, and realization starts to dawn.  Liam nods, seeing you start to understand.  \"Chris got bit while we were on our way here.  We tried to treat it, I did everything I could think of, but the infection got worse and worse.  Chris told me to just turn my back, but I couldn't do that.  We had a pact.  You know that.\"  Liam's eyes are red rimmed, and he wipes them with a sleeve.  \"I stayed here until… until the transition.  We wrote this letter and a bunch more, stuff for Chris's family, if we can find them, you know?",

God damn, that was the hardest thing I've ever done.\"  He looks up at you, his face drained, across the body of one of your oldest friends.  \"Fucking hell.  You're alive.  You made it here.  I'm sorry for the rough introduction, I should be hugging you right now.  You're not bit or anything?",

I don't know if it's every bite or what, but Chris just had one that barely broke the skin and you see where that ended up.  Took about three days.  My advice is, we don't let these things teeth anywhere near our skin.  They're pretty clumsy bastards, though.  They definitely can't just nibble you as they go by, they've gotta grab you first.  Unfortunately, seems like they're pretty fuckin' good at that.  Once you get grabbed, best bet is to go full ham on the zombie grabbing you with everything you've got, and try to shake loose, but honestly it's better to not get grabbed.",
