> 
> Ana... wherever you are...  
> I haven't given up."

**[Kai picks up Mother's locket, opens it - Ana's photo inside]**

**Kai:**

> "Twin bond... they said we had something special.  
> From the day we were born, we could feel each other.  
> 
> But now... silence.  
> 
> Is she...? No. I refuse to believe it.  
> I WILL find you, Ana. I promise."

### **[Tutorial starts]**

**Kai (to camera/player):**

> "This farm... these zombies I control... this curse that saved my life...  
> It's all I have left.  
> 
> But maybe... maybe I can build something here.  
> A place Ana can return to.  
> A place we can call home again.  
> 
> First things first - survival."

**[Zombie worker appears]**

**Kai:**

> "Strange... these zombies. They obey me.  
> The Troll's blood infected me... but differently.  
> I became... something else. An Alpha Hybrid.  
> 
> I can control them. Make them work.  
> They're not mindless beasts... they just need guidance.  
> 
> Ana would find this fascinating."

## PLAYER CHOICE MOMENT:

**The game asks:**

```
How will you play?

[Focus on Ana Quest] - Rush to find all clues, rescue sister
[Focus on Farm Building] - Build empire, search casually  
[Balanced Approach] - Both farm and search

(This is just a preference - you can change anytime!)
```
