You swallow audibly, and gather up the courage to hear the answer to your next question. Let's hope it's not too bad
Iris? What did I do?She still looks a bit scared, but she removes herself from TW's back, at least. She shakily explains:
Y-you wanted to hurt me. lured me close and then swiped at me and.-
Did. I. Hurt. You.You didn't. But you sure as hell came close.You take a step closer. You don't even know why, compassionate hand reaching?
One step closer and I'll liquify your organs.You can't do that. Also, I'm extremely sorry for whatever else I did.You almost bit me. I was the first to discover your little condition. I was held down, you held your teeth ready... Diane is the only reason I'm not a shambling freak right now.This happens when I'm tired and hungry, alright!? My brain just stops working and I turn into one of the shamblers! I don't have any control over it!Just join your little psycho at the truck, ok. Get out, and leave us both alone.You won't be able to convince her. you go towards the truck. When you get close enough, Diane was easy to find.
Just follow the mumbling. You go to the passenger side, open up the door, and you see Diane holding her head to the wheel.
What do you say to a girl that just stabbed you?
hey.Smooth.
Diane doesn't respond.
Diane?She says nothing, but starts smiling. Not a happy smile, though, you can't see her eyes.
Hey there, Zero. Wanna do something fun?Something is off. She rears up, and you can see her eyes.
They don't seem focused on anything.
Then she puts the key in the ignition.
What are you doing?Having fun.Then attempts to hit you on the jaw. You block it without issue, and get her arm in a lock. You put your face close to hers.
What. Was. that?She headbutts you, sending you back enough that she can push you out of the truck. The landing was not all that soft. She sits on top of you.
She's mine again! All mine.You return the punch, knocking her off you.
What to do now?
