There's something different about it, to Drake. Somebody dying in an accident or from an illness or in a war or from a zombie attack is, obviously, awful. He's dealt with all those things firsthand, too. But he can't ever accept murder as a thing that happens. He won't. He refuses to. Whether it's his friends or total strangers, he doesn't believe it's ever okay to kill somebody that's not a threat. That's why he went into the work he did -- to protect people who didn't deserve to die on a whim.

But Jesus' actual question is hard to answer.

"It's kind of a long story," he says first, though he's thinking. "Cliff notes? The city's rival crime lord happened to also be a zombie, the one keeping me fed at the time. When I stopped cooperating he sold me out. Blaine's the reason I wound up a lab rat, and once I was dead they couldn't take Mr Boss down."
