More survivors trickle out of the neighborhood, but the emptiness left by the fallen affects everyone in different ways. Gray and Carsen look past the dreary present and find, for a while, their own hope. Gentle souls are pushed into violence and security takes precedence over other worries. But shared resources and a daily meal start to build up a community, a very changed community, but one with potential for cooperation and fellowship. Family members come home and with the joy of reunion there is the pain of loss and the agony of betrayal. Some robed people from the woods share a meal, and Ms. Cherisse ponders their appearance. All in all, another exciting whistle stop on the train that is the apocalypse.
