Mina must kill Gordo to save Boyd from the Dementia Plague.
This entry continues the saga of Mina and her companions as they face the escalating crisis of the Dementia Plague. The central conflict revolves around a hostage-like negotiation between Mina and Boyd.

This requirement forces Mina into a precarious position where she must confront her enemy while dodging the general threat of the undead.

The story emphasizes the fragility of human connections in the face of overwhelming supernatural danger.
