4.5

Dark, ashy, lonely, dead. Roads, overgrowth, fear, dread, starvation, cold, shivering. Dragging on, slow, challenging, pain, sickness. Cannibalism, cultism, guns, stealing. Stubborn old man who trusts no one, innocent annoying child. When you are kind and trusting, sometimes the world returns the kindness and trust.
