a worker zombie lunges down at Roy, knocking him off balance. His foot slips on the loose concrete, and for a horrifying moment—he's falling. The world tilts, and the ground below looks miles away.)
Fiona – "ROY!!"
(At the last second, Fiona grabs his arm, struggling to hold on. Ruby reacts instantly, slamming into the zombie, sending it plummeting off the edge.)
Roy – (panting, shaken) "T-Thanks…"
Man – (shouting) "Come on! We're almost there!"
Ruby – (glaring at the horde behind them) "Yeah, no time to celebrate—they're coming up!"
(They force themselves to keep running, pushing past the burning pain in their legs as the zombies swarm the building, closing in fast. Every second counts.)
(They climb to the rooftop, their breath ragged. The man quickly lays a wooden plank across the edge, creating a bridge to the next building.)
Man – "This way! Hurry!" (urgent)
Roy – (staring at the plank in disbelief) "Are you insane?! We're students, not stuntmen!" (angry)
Man – (dead serious) "Then enjoy your last moments here. Anyone who wants to survive—cross. Now."
Ruby – (smirks) "Honestly, falling to death sounds better than turning into a zombie." (steps onto the plank)
Fiona – (nervous but determined) "Actually… I think she has a point." (stumbles slightly but manages to cross)
19 Century – (closes his eyes, muttering) "God, please save me…" (shakily crosses the plank)
(Now only Roy is left. He hesitates, staring at the drop below. The zombies are getting closer. With no choice left, he grips the plank and crosses.)
(The man is the last to cross. He pulls the plank over, cutting off the zombies' path. Then, using the same method, he leads them across three more rooftops until they reach a building filled with more survivors.)
(Jack, breathing heavily, leans against the wall, catching his breath.)
Jack – (panting) "Are you kids okay?"
Ruby – "Yeah, we're fine… but who are you?"
Jack – (smiles) "Oh, right, my bad. I'm Jack. And you all?"
Roy – "I'm Roy. Thanks for saving us."
Fiona – "I'm Fiona. Seriously, thank you so much!"
Ruby – "I'm Ruby." (glances at 19 Century, who is hesitating) "And this is 19 Century."
Jack – (raises an eyebrow) "19 Century?"
Ruby – (grinning) "That's his nickname. We gave it to him."
Jack – (chuckles) "But why? What's your real name, bro?"
(Ruby leans toward Fiona and whispers.)
Ruby – "This is the moment he realized he f***ed up."
19 Century – (nervous) "It's… Ramdas Hariprasad Sagar Chattopadhyay."
Jack – (wide-eyed) "Whoa, that's long! But it sounds cool."
19 Century – (excited) "Really? So should I tell you my full name?"
Jack – (shocked) "Wait… that wasn't your full name?!"
19 Century – (clears his throat) "No, it's actually Ramdas Hari—"
Jack – (quickly cuts him off) "Whoa, bro, that's fine! I think '19 Century' is way easier for me to remember."
