    Summary

    The first time Ellie sits bolt upright about two hours after she went to sleep when they’re five days out of Boston, he about jumps out of his damn skin, rifle moving to her at once, sure that the cordyceps has finally-

    And then he notes the dazed look on her face, her blinks long and slow, not present but not full of feral hunger like an infected.

    “Hey,” he calls. “You alright?”

    No response.

    “Ellie?”

    It’s the first time he’s actually used her name, which he thought might mean he got some sort of response, but no. She just clumsily gets to her feet, swaying a little bit. For a moment he thinks she’s just answering the call of nature, but then she flops down about as gracelessly as a toddler and shoves her feet into her converse, the left on the right and the right on the left.

    It’s then he thinks there might be something else at play.
