## Personality

Harry is, in simple terms, the peacekeeper of the group. Throughout the story, it is evident time and time again that Harry dislikes any sort of conflict, particularly among the group, as he considers them all his friends and partners. He especially dislikes suspicion growing among the group because he feels it's unproductive and fears that another disagreement will happen like with the previous group of survivors. He's an optimist and tends to encourage others to take on a positive outlook on life as well despite the grim conditions. He can be seen as an idealist and the type to believe in superstitions, an example being how he believes his mother's ring is a talisman that granted him a wish.

Harry is incredibly dependable, seen by all the times the MC has been comforted by him when she's been in low spirits. He's the type to always watch out for others, even if it puts him at risk. A primary example is how he insisted the MC run away during their encounter with the delusional man, even if it meant abandoning him and leaving him at risk. Despite all the care and attention he gives the others, Harry does not show much care towards his own wellbeing. Whenever he feels a migraine coming on, he immediately insists that he is fine. He always pushes his own feelings aside for the sake of others because he doesn't want to be the one who depends on others and doesn't want others to feel bothered by his issues. It should also be noted that Harry isn't entirely reckless, as he tends to be a logical thinker who tends to act on emotions. He can be rational, though he lets his and others' emotions get in the way quite a bit.

His selflessness and unwillingness to suspect others may make him seem easily manipulated, though it has been shown that he has a good eye for people and their emotions, like how he immediately got an odd feeling from Lawrence's words during a patrol encounter. Harry seems to be the type to always notice the slightest details, especially if it's related to someone else's happiness and emotional wellbeing.

Harry's kind nature stems from his childhood, his intense empathy a result of how he didn't have many people he himself could depend on for guidance when he was young. It's clear that his past took a heavy toll on him, going as far as being the cause of his extreme migraines as he admitted in his night-watches and during the story. Harry cared deeply for his mother and despised yet endured all the abuse his father put him through, trying his best to remain positive for his mother's sake. Harry's childhood influenced him to care for others and become a dependable person. He believes his past is an important part of him because it makes him who he is today.

## Appearance

## Story

### Pre-Virus

According to what Harry tells MC, he was not born into a "typical family"; his father stole money from his mother and also abused both of them, especially when he was drunk. His mother cried every day due to her husband's constant mistreatment and Harry, being a child back then, there wasn't much he could do to defend his mother.

Because of this, Harry grew up hating his father, desperately wanting him to get out of the house and leave him and his mother alone.

At some point, Harry told his teacher about the problems in his house. However, the professor did not give it so much importance, arguing that "this could happen in any family"

One day, Harry's mom gave him a ring saying "this will bring you happiness". The next day, Harry's father left the house. Although Harry didn't know if his father's abrupt departure was because of the ring, he was glad it was finally gone. However, from that moment on, he began to suffer from excruciating headaches and migraines.

Harry's mother was aware of her son's migraines, so she suggested that he go to the doctor after lunch. Nevertheless, the virus spread rapidly and Harry did not see his mother again after that.

### Endings

After the school is invaded by zombies, Harry, MC, Zion, Ethan, Eugene and Hailey decide to climb the stairs to escape, but Hailey is caught and killed by the zombies. The remaining survivors then decide to hide in a room, at the same time that the undeads bang on the doors, trying to force them to open. Harry notices that the school's back gate was open and that was probably where the zombies entered. He then offers himself to close the gate, with MC deciding to help as well, which Harry hesitantly accepts. After Ethan, Zion and Eugene say they'd be fine, the two go down through the window to the ground floor, where MC notices a figure in one of the windows that quickly hides behind the curtains, which both she and Harry choose to ignore. After closing the gate, the two eventually return to the room, only to find that Ethan, Eugene and Zion were caught by the zombies and that the only proof they were there was the blood marks on the walls and floor of the room that showed that the three were dragged by force by the creatures.

With no choice, the two fled from the school, where they were eventually found by soldiers who took them to the safe area. MC, grieving for the loss of her friends, languishes, with Harry bringing her a plate of food, which she abruptly rejects and questions how he could be okay with everything that happened. The boy then reveals that he was trying to be strong to comfort her, handing her his lucky ring and revealing that he could change and become better thanks to her, and that the ring could bring as much luck and happiness to her as it did for him. The two decide to live happily together, both for themselves as for their friends who perished, at the same time that news of the creation of a vaccine against the zombie virus was being shared.
