## Plot

This section contains spoilers!

The day is November 5, 2048, and Sam is in a cave near a fireplace at Twin Legs. While writing in his journal, someone who goes by the name of Alden stumbles upon the place. Sam quickly pulls out his gun in a mode of self-defense, worried that he would bring danger. Alden said he just needed a place to stay for a little bit, and so Sam let him stay.

Alden talked about something called *"the tsunami"*, where a giant tsunami crashed down onto the Eastern United States and wiped out most of America. After talking about the tsunami for a while, Sam brings up his mom, which Alden says she passed away about a year after the tsunami hit.

However when things seemed fine, Alden was lying and whipped out a gun and started mugging him. Sam didn't take this so kindly, and beat Alden up. They then wake up the next day with their heads gashing and bleeding onto a rock. Not remembering anything, Alden and Sam become friends as Sam doesn't remember what Alden did, and Alden doesn't remember what he tried to do to Sam.

They walk down the Winlow Forest when Alden asks Sam a few questions to see if it can ring a tone about Soriana. However while walking down the forest, he trips and knocks over Sam and knocks over a tree. They then go to a nearby river flowing under a bridge. Sam goes to wash his hands, and Alden looks through Sam's backpack. While looking through his backpack, he presumably finds a spider and gets freaked out, which causes him to throw the backpack in the river. Sam then gets mad as the backpack had the weapons and things they needed to survive to try and find Soriana.

After going a few more miles, they find the Tradesman, which the tradesman works for the Trummers. Sam then goes up to him and distracts him while Alden gets the guns. Alden continously makes a lot of noise though, but when the tradesman tries to look over, Sam goes back to distracting him. While trying to get the guns though, the Trummers finds both of them and then pin them to a wall.

They knock them out and when they wake up, they are kidnapped. Both of them easily get out after the Trummer Chef trips and passes out. They steal his flashlight and gun. On the other hand, Soriana tries to make an escape. She then gets kidnapped while screaming. Because Sam and Alden are close, they can hear Soriana screaming. They then rush over to the area Soriana is heading to, which is a boiling lake. The leader throws Soriana into a lake but then is greeted by Sam and Alden. While trying to beat him down, Soriana makes a perfect aim shot to the leader's chest, which hit his heart. Sam then notices the gunshot and looks behind him, when he finds Soriana.

Alden then asks a question to Sam and Soriana, and says that if he can stay in their house, as he needs a home. Sam says yes and they hug. However, the leader comes back up to almost get ready to destroy them. But Sam whips out the gun that Soriana had and Alden pulls the trigger, presumably hitting his head.
