You sat quietly in the cafeteria thinking about what could've happened last night if you weren't there. You're not saying that Lori's weak, but Shane's a pretty tough man with a good built. on his way out of the room, you saw three scratch marks on the left side of his face and his neck.

You heard footsteps approaching, looking up seeing Rick walk in with his pajamas "hello" he says as he yawns, gaining Carl's attention "are you hungover? mom said you'd be!" Carl asked excitedly as his mother gave him a glare making you chuckle.

Not everyone was in the room. Andrea, Dale, Daryl, Carl, Lori and Rick sitting eating breakfast on the table, Glenn moaning and groaning from he amount of alcohol he drank last night, Jackie sitting next to him comforting him as T-dog cooked. You were sitting on top of a table next to T-dog as you ate breakfast and tested his food.

"Eggs! powdered, but I do 'em good!" T-dog announced as he walked away from you and started splitting the egg in half for Rick and Glenn "protein helps the hangover" he continued, giving Glenn a taste "don't ever, ever, ever let me drink again" continuing to groan and moan from the pain

You grinned at Glenn's comment, putting your dish in the dish washer and walking out to where everyone started getting in

"Good morning" you say as you smile at Carol and Sophia, them returning the gesture. You heard another set of footsteps which made you look up from the table and meet the eyes of evil "what the hell happened to you?" T-dog asked, looking at Shane's three scratch marks on his neck and face "must've done it in my sleep" he plainly answers as sat down across the table from you and staring at you dead in the eyes.

"Never seen you do that" Rick argues, "me neither," he switches his eyes to Lori who refused to look up from her plate "so.. not me" he says as he sips his coffee. "Morning" you heard Jenner's voice as he walks up to the coffee machine "Doc, we didn't come for the eggs" Andrea hinted wanting to know what kind of disease that killed 99% of the population then brought them back to life as killing machines, only worse.

He turned around, meeting Andrea's eyes then yours "they need some information" you say as you point to your group with your thumb "but you don't?" Dale asked, looking at you "why do I? all that matters is we know how to kill them and know it won't effect us but with a bite. We already know it went global and there's no cure so what's the point?" you answer plainly looking at Dale who had wide eyes

"Come with me" the Doctor says as he walks out of the room, everyone following close behind. You rolled your eyes as you stood up, walking behind them to the lab. "review of TS-19" he spoke as the huge tech board that was hung on the wall started viewing some kinds of codes and black and white pictures on the sides.

"Few people ever got the chance to see this. Very few" he spoke as he turned around in disappointment and watched as the board started showing a brain of a human. the picture got wider as it turned to the side and started showing all of you the brain from the inside, going deeper and deeper until it got all the way to the center of the brain, showing lines of colorful lights "what are those lights?" Shane asked "it's a person's life. Experiences, memories, it's everything. Somewhere in that organic wiring, and all those ripples of light, is you. The things that makes you unique and human."

you stared at those beautiful lights "you don't make sense ever?" Daryl asked as everyone ignored him and stared at the pictures "those are synapses, electric impulses in the brain that carry all the messages. They determine everything a person says, does or thinks from the moment of birth to the moment of death."

"Death? that's what this is, a vigil?" Rick asked she he made his way towards the doctor and stood by him "yes. Or rather, the playback of the vigil." you took a deep breath and let it out, crossing your arms and looking down at your socks "this person died? who?" Andrea asked as she went closer towards the doctor "test subject 19. Someone who was bitten, and infected and volunteered to have us record the process. Vi scan forward to the first event"
