The Right Choice (Clementine x Male Reader)

Walkers - once humans who have abandoned their humanity. Beings that only exist by consuming human flesh.

With the power of so-called Devils, whose abilities you can only borrow in fragments, you hunt them in the shadows of the night to protect a world that has long since fallen apart at the seams.

During the day, you lead a different life: university, good grades, staying inconspicuous. Keeping your distance. Being alone. A fragile balance that only works as long as no one looks too closely.

But this balance begins to crumble when you meet Clementine - a girl who asks questions where silence would be safer and awakens feelings you can't afford to have.

Between morality and monsters, duty and humanity, one inevitable question remains: What really makes a person a monster?

And when the line is crossed - who pays the price?

[This story contains many inner monologues, which are presented in italics. The voices of the Devils appear in square brackets. Which voice is speaking at any given moment is deliberately left unclear-and that is precisely part of the concept.]
