"I think it has been getting better, mostly," she says. "There was a zombie attack a bit after I first got here. Like, people died. It was pretty bad.

And zombies taste terrible, I don't know if you know that, but I hate fighting them."

She kicks her legs again. "I can turn you into something for a little bit, if you wanted. I mean, you might have to actually breathe to live if I did that, that's probably a thing you should be prepared for, but I could."
