Biography – Day 1.`❁

On June 18, 2020, the first day that the Death Angels arrived on Earth. Eric was in New York City, a lone Englishman who came from Kent, England, intending to attend law school in the United States. After another devastating attack on a crowded city thoroughfare, Eric emerges the next day, having survived a near-drowning in a flooded subway tunnel. He is found by Sam's cat, Frodo, who then leads him to Sam. Having no family in the city and a mild panic disorder, Eric asks Sam if he can accompany her on her quest for pizza. Sam is reluctant to allow herself an ally beyond her cat, but Eric proves himself determined to follow her regardless of protest. Sam, now without her medication, brings Eric to her old apartment so that she can resupply. Through the disguise of the rain and thunder, they break down the door and head inside. It is here where Sam reveals the severity of her illness through the only means she knows how, writing, willingly allowing her new companion to rear some of her writings and poetry that details her condition. The next morning, Sam attempts to abandon Eric, but he still follows, returning her journal and strengthening his resolve to stay with her.

Biography - Day 2.`❁

During another outdoor attack by the creatures, Eric, Sam, and Frodo take shelter in a New York Subway station, finding it derelict and covered in blood and debris. A Death Angel follows, stalking them slowly through the hollow halls and eventually onto the tracks. Unfortunately, a cave-in had disrupted the train system, as well as causing flooding all along the actual subway tunnel. Having no other choice, Eric and Sam brave the murky waters and travel down the makeshift river. The aforementioned monster is undeterred by this development and descends from a collapsed bit of ceiling, scouring the tunnel for signs of life. It's at this point when Eric, up to his neck in water and realizing it's only getting deeper, begins to panic at the prospect of both going forward and being eaten. Sam attempts to shush him, soothing his whimpers with silent words of affirmation and soft touch. The moment of respite does not last long, as the Death Angel pinpoints their location, thus beginning an intense chase through the rapidly flooding tunnel. The trio makes it out alive, washing up on the collapsed floor of a cathedral. Sam wakes up to Eric, who helps her cough the water from his lungs. The pair takes a moment to rest before Eric asks Sam which medications she needs to take. He then sets off by himself to find a pharmacy and search for her meds. He is briefly startled by Frodo, who accompanied him on the way. Things take a turn for the disturbing as they find themselves within the burning wreckage of a structure that has been completely overtaken as a Death Angel nest. Frodo manages to guide Eric out of the nest before he descends into another bout of panic while nearly detected. He returns to the chapel with the transdermal patches for Sam, assisting her in applying a new one. Sam confides her reasoning for the obsession with Patsy's Pizzeria, explaining how her father used to play piano at a nearby jazz club when she was a child and how they'd go out for pizza afterward.

Biography - Day 3 | Part 1.`❁

The following day, the pair searched for Patsy's Pizzeria again. Eric was now thoroughly invested in helping his new and only friend reach her goal. The trio eventually makes it to the restaurant, only to find its windows smashed and facade broken. Sam and Eric take a moment to sit in silence, sharing a gentle embrace before going to the old jazz club where Sam's father used to play. Eric instructs Sam to wait while he goes outside searching for a suitable pizza left over. It wasn't Patsy's, but it was edible. The three of them share the stale pizza before Eric sees fit to try and lighten the mood with a card trick, envisioning himself as some great magician while Sam is his reluctant participant. It's unknown whether or not magic tricks were his passion before all this. Still, judging by his lines earlier in the film where he mentions that law school was a significant event in his relationship with his parents, it can be surmised that perhaps his life path would have looked quite a bit different had he not gone along with their ideals for him. After the touching moments shared inside the club, Eric and Sam head outside, where they can see the river and a lone vessel transporting many survivors leaving the dock. The pair trade jackets as a silent memento of their friendship before setting off toward the water. Their path is blocked by a multitude of Death Angels who are stalking the boat from the shore, leading them to take a moment to devise a plan. Eric begins to succumb to another bout of despair upon witnessing the odds stacked against them, but Sam realizes her part in this journey is nearly played out.

He bolts down the street, going to the dock with Frodo tucked safely into the sweater Sam had given him. As he runs onto the dock however, Eric accidentally kicks a can, which instantly alerts the Death Angels, and Eric is forced to run for his life as the horde of aliens race towards him. He manages to make it to the edge and leaps into the water, narrowly missing the swiping claws of the Death Angels. Emerging, he looks at Sam, who encourages him to go ahead. Nodding a final grateful goodbye to his friend, Eric swims the short distance to the boat, where Henri assures him he is safe. Overwhelmed, Eric breaks down into tears in Henri's arms.
