   Summary

   Three weeks after Atlanta collapsed, Rin believes she may be completely alone.
   Standing on a rooftop with almost no hope left, she hears something impossible—
   a voice coming from the building across the street.
   That voice belongs to a stranger named Merle… and it changes everything.
