Summary
The story of Tess: how she meets Joel and the years of survival beyond.
“So let’s do it,” Tess whispered fiercely.
“What?”
“Let’s just not die. You, me, Tommy. We’ll go all the way to the end, as far as we have to go. Fuck Cordyceps and fuck the future. Let’s just not fucking die.”
“Well, all right,” Joel agreed. “You’re the boss.”
It was absurd optimism, a ridiculous fight: don’t fucking die. But it was the biggest Fuck You she could muster against reality. She was not going to give in, no matter how bad it got. She’d seen people take the easy, quiet way out with their pills or bullets. She got it. She even envied them a little. That kind of quick death would never belong to her. She was too full of fight, too angry at the world.
“We’ll go as far as we have to,” Joel murmured.
(Extra chapter added 16/11. It's the new Chapter 5. No other content has been altered.)

Summary
“So… she wants to meet me?”
“Tomorrow. After your therapy. She wants to have us over for lunch.” Cassie lets a small smile peek through. “Don’t worry, I told her not to make anything too spicy — don’t want to make my dear husband sweat more than he needs to in front of his mother-in-law.”
Little did she know, she would be the one sweating through that meeting.

Summary
Clarke is only three days into being a runaway when she realizes that she did not fully think this through. When she walked away from Camp Jaha, she took only herself, a handgun with limited ammunition, and the gnawing guilt inside her. Three days without food, water, fresh clothing, or bedding of any kind, however, and she is painfully aware of how foolish that decision had been.
