You're all at the Delta. You're gonna be sniping from a tree with your bow and arrow.

A walker roams around in front of the boat. The spotlight shines on the walker. The walker looks at the boat.

*BANG!*
The walker gets shot by one of the raiders. You pull the walker's corpse into hiding. You stand up as everyone gathers around.

Ruby whisper: Ugh. I guess we're really doing this.

You whisper: Only the team blending in with the walkers need to cover themselves.

Ruby whisper: Now we just need your walker friend to--

AJ whisper: He's here!

You look over to see James wearing his mask. Ruby turns to James and jumps.

Ruby whisper: Good Lord.

James: Uh...hello.

Everyone turns to James. Clem walks out in front of James.

Clem whisper: Guys, this is James.

AJ whisper: He's my friend.

Tenn whisper: He's...uh...

Willy whisper: So. Cool!

Willy walks up to James.

Willy whisper: How do you get the skin like that?

James whisper: Oh, I, um... Y/N?

Willy whisper: Can I try it on?

James whisper: That's not a good idea.

Willy whisper: Come on, please?

You whisper: Willy, come on. Give him some space.

Willy whisper: But I just want to--

AJ whisper: Not right now.

Willy whisper: Yeah. Right...sorry. I didn't mean to be weird or anything.

James whisper: It's okay.

Willy whisper: Oh, and sorry I tried to shoot you that one time. Your mask looks so real.

Louis whisper: Functional and fashionable. I'll take two.

James chuckles.

James whisper: Funny.

Tenn whisper: Is this the guy that Clem said she'd...?

AJ whisper: Flip? Yeah.

James whisper: Um, Y/N, could I speak to you alone? For a moment?

You whisper: Good idea.

You look at the group.

You whisper: Hold tight.

You and James turn around and walk away from the group.

Louis whisper: Hey, uh, Tenn? Come here, buddy. I gotta tell you something.

James got a little ahead of you. He's stopped by a tree. You walk up to him.

James whisper: The walkers. They'll be here in a little while. You can join them as they pass through the trees. The noise from the boat will draw them toward the water.

You walk up next to him.

You whisper: Then we can get on board and save our friends.

You watch the walkers roam by.

James whisper: Your friends are...different.

You look at James.

James whisper: Open-minded. Accepting. Like you. That's not usually how my first impressions go. Sorry, I feel like I'm rambling. It's just...being welcomed. It's strange. That one boy called me..."cool". Not sure anyone's ever said that to me.
