* GoodSamaritan: Played almost biblically straight by Dean and Ken. Dean is put into a zombie pen because he was bitten, even though by then he and his friends in the HVF knew bites weren't contagious. Being a diabetic, he needed something to eat to keep his blood sugar up. He asks a boy and an old woman for help; the boy tells him off and the old woman spits in his face. When Ken walks by, he's the only one to actually help him, much to Dean's shame after he aided Bill when he [[spoiler:killed Ken's wife.]]

However many in the HVF don't seem to want to believe that feral zombies can be helped nor that treated ones aren't dangerous.

Three years after the dead rose from the grave; Kieren, a [[NotUsingTheZedWord Partially Deceased Syndrome (PDS)]] patient, is ready to return home. However his unlife is far from easy; suffering from flashbacks before his "treatment" and hounded by the Human Volunteer Force (HVF) he's stuck at home wallowing in the past. His parents are in denial while his sister, a member of the HVF, is more than slightly hostile towards him.
