She promises herself she will because she wants to. Is it as easy as that, though? When Evan returns to the survivor's camp after spending the night with Sadie, he somehow needs to explain where he's been. Almost everyone is just glad he's back, except Alex, the self-designated group leader. What can Evan tell him that won't send the man into an angry tirade? Will anyone believe him that the "zombies" aren't zombies, that they're people, sick and confused and in need of help? No. Alex won't listen. He's too set in his ways, strict and demanding.

Does emotion, feeling, love... do these things still exist in the world? Or is everything and everyone now Heartless? less
