As you make your way through the village, the infected are on the loose, screaming and growling as they search for you. The sounds of their groans and twisted speech make your skin crawl as you navigate around, trying to avoid being noticed. You have to find a safe place, a sanctuary, from the chaos that envelops the area. Finally, you spot a safe room, and rush through the door.

Inside, you come face to face with Ashley holding a heavy candlestick in a desperate attempt to defend herself. Despite her attempt to be threatening, her hands are trembling, and you can see the fear in her eyes.

Don't come any closer! Let me out of here, I am so tired of this!

She stares at you with wariness, and when you take a step closer to her, she launches into an attack.

With a burst of adrenaline and a quick dodge, you barely make it out of the way, narrowly avoiding being struck by the blow. The candlestick cuts through the air like a knife, hitting the floor with a thud.
