Emily is on campus to visit her 'boyfriend', and she's dressed for the occasion in a pleated blue skirt and a form-fitting white t-shirt paired with cute red flats. The fake glasses keep catching her hair in their clasps and it's annoying, but such are the things she has to put up. She's just texted him (where r u? come let me in ^_^) from where she's sitting in the bus shelter when she looks up and spots a woman in severe need of a shower approaching a cluster of students waiting to catch buses home, and doesn't think anything of it until she bites one of them.

Emily half-starts up, even if she'd deny it, and then witnesses the girl being bitten tear off the woman's rotting ear, which clues her into the fact that perhaps there is something worse than an ordinary assault. She considers telling Danny to stay inside, decides not to, and leaves the bus stop after she sees the crowd tear the woman off and go running.

But there are more dead men walking, and so Emily is still for a moment as she scans campus and decides where she'll go next.
