IN ISOLATION IT WAS lonely, yet there was an art to surviving it. Nadia found that if she could be conscious of her own choices and emotions, she could start to ask herself to make more healthy choices for herself and those she loved. The woman could choose to sleep the days away or fight against the beasts. Yet in all of that, in seeking herself in isolation, it was equally important to acknowledge the lonely feelings and the aching fire within, to walk the line between feeling emotions, and allowing them to numb her slowly. After discovering Javier and Finley, Nadia vowed to never isolate herself again. In her isolation, she realised, her mind was a cage, a place that rotted and infected her emotions.
Being alone was a fear for the woman now. Nadia had lost her mother, and despite their differences, loved her so deeply. She had mourned her sister and even her passion for saving lives from the daunting flames. So, when she discovered Javier and Finley in a burning building, she promised to stick with them. Even if she was putting her life on the line.
Today was that day.
Nadia had managed to escape the city alongside Finley, Daryl and the mysterious boy, who she discovered had the name, Noah, in a lorry. Daryl led them to his group, people he trusted, a group of strangers for Nadia. There was a whole family, and more kids, it was a strange site. Nadia forgot children, other than Finley, were living and breathing in this world. It was unsettling, the idea of discovering more people, but she promised Finley she'd stick by them.
