Heartbroken over each other’s words, the two spend time apart unable to face each other. That is until their friends manage to set them up on a date in a botanical garden. While awkward around each other they manage to reconcile and promise to be better for each other. After meeting Lewis in the gardens he informs them that their relationship could suffer from many obstacles such as N’s unknown origins and relationship with Elsa as well as the actions the government will take against the zombies, but Alex and N promise to stand by each other as they only care about being together however they are disappointed that because his fungus infection can transfer through any fluid touch, he and Alex cannot kiss because then Alex will turn into a zombie.
