Lee and Omid join you and Christa on the couches as Christa finishes bandaging your hand.
Christa: All done.
You: Thanks.
She walks over to Omid who is sitting across from you and Lee sits with you.
Christa: I can't believe you didn't tell us you were bitten.
Lee: I didn't want to scare anyone.
Christa: Because you were scared yourself.
Lee: I'd been bitten by a walker.
Christa: You thought we'd turn on you.
Lee: Sure.
Christa: You were scared. I don't blame you.
Omid: I would be scared shitless.
You: Same here.
Christa: It's so weird, I keep doing a double-take on your arm, expecting it to be there.
Lee: I'm hoping whatever's in their bite is gone too.
Christa: What do you think the odds are of that?
Lee: I don't know. I know everyone's wondering. Even if it just slows down the process, I'd be happy.
Christa: You don't mean that.
Omid: So when we get this guy...what do you think?
You: We get Clementine back, that's all that matters.
Omid: Sure, but if it's not that easy...
Lee: We'll do whatever it takes.
Omid: And...you know...whatever happens to you...uh...
You feel yourself about to breakdown and sadness is all over your face. Christa takes note of it.
Christa: Seriously, can we not talk like that?
Lee: I was bitten, Christa.
Christa: Y/N cut it off.
You: They're right.
Christa: What?
You: We can't keep quiet about it.
Christa: What good is it for you guys to give up?
You: We haven't given up. It's just that....
You take a deep breath before continuing.
You: We have to have a back up plan, just in case cutting Lee's arm didn't work.
Lee: Y/N's right. I want you all to stay together.
Christa: Don't do this.
Lee: She'd be happy with all of you. You're like a family after all.
Christa: We're not do...
You: Christa, please.
You interrupt her in a sad tone.
Omid: Christa. Listen to him.
Lee: It's what I want. Okay?
Kenny approaches the group.
Kenny: Alright, I'm outta gas. You look good and rested.
Omid: Sure, if you don't count an infected leg.
Christa: You want me to do it?
Omid: Nah, hon, you can hop in after me.
Omid takes over smashing the wall with the coat rack, and Kenny takes his seat on the couch.
Kenny: Shouldn't be long now. It's good we're forced to take a breath. That, uhh...feelin' any better?
Lee: I can handle it; the pain, that is. I'm just really goddamn tired.
Kenny: Y/N how did you even come up with this idea anyway.
You: I...I don't know, It just made sense to me at the time.
Lee: Well, we might not be sure if it worked but like I said the pain is manageable.
Kenny: Heard you guys giving Lee and Y/N some hell about hiding his bite.
Christa: Yeah, of course.
Kenny: I'd have done the same thing.
Kenny puts his head in his hand.
You: You okay Kenny?
Kenny: I'm...I don't know how to answer that kiddo.
Christa: I'm sorry. You've lost more than anyone. Well, as much as anyone.
Kenny: Lee's family's gone and Y/N hasn't seen his for years.
Lee: He's fine, okay?
Christa: Chill. I know you want to get out of here. Omid's making good progress.
Kenny: I am fine. I miss my family. That's all. 'Preciate you askin' though.
Kenny: Well, he can't fight for shit.
Christa: Well, look at him.
Lee: Hey!
Kenny: Soft as rotten fruit.
Christa: Like you guys didn't have enough problems without punching each other in the face?
Kenny: Eh, he had to knock some sense into me before we met you on the train.
You: You guys fought?
Lee: Yeah. I'm sorry for hurting you in any way, Kenny. It's impossible to go through life without causing some sorta pain, but sometimes I can't help but wonder if I coulda caused a little less.
Kenny nods respectfully in response and takes a sip of whiskey before offering Lee some. He too drinks then Christa.
Kenny: Thought you would complain about us drinking with Y/N around.
He points out while looking in Christa's direction.
Christa: Uhh...
You: Don't worry about it, I know what to do and what not to do, well for kids anyway.
Kenny: Think he's calling you old.
You and Lee try as much as possible to hide your laughter as Christa stares you both down menacingly.
Christa: How far hon?
A few seconds pass before a response.
Omid: I'm through.
Omid sets down the coat rack and you look through the medium-sized hole in the wall.
You: No walkers. Things are looking up.
Everyone goes through the wall and drops down into the adjacent mansion.
