Oh god, first I'm SO glad he called Matthew and FINALLY asked for help... and then he jumps off a bridge! Nooooo! Okay at least I know he HAS to survive since the fic isn't done yet. Please let it start getting better from here... Although I guess there's never an easy road up without the occasional fall...

I was glad to see a glimpse of Chel... And I was SO glad Francis didn't infect that woman in the bar, at least he's better than that.

The last scene was scarily vivid. I really hope you aren't writing from your own experience, a!a.
