Grant is the only one in the Shelter to not receive the "Nothing Golden (A negative perk that prevent their mood from naturally going to happy). Given how he lost his family to the zombies and how it affects the older suvivors who saw the worst of it badly.

The more logs you decrypt and read the more you slowly realize how bad it's getting/got. America is suffering a Regional Class 2 Apocalypse. France is detaining and shooting anyone who even looks infected. The Mumabi Police were killed in a Last Stand. Italy was brought to a halt with a panic. Africa got the worst of it as it was Ground Zero and is most likely suffering a Class 3 Apocalypse.
