As we observe the lives of several people who still remain relatively unharmed by this illness, we understand their struggle to hopelessly attach to their former way of life, where even the simplest things, require great effort to be accomplished.

-Yes, we will.

-We'll remember.

-No, we won't.

-I know we will.

Yes, come on.

-Don't say that.

-How?

-We will-- we'll have

to stay awake.

-Okay.

It's okay.

Who are you?

Sticks again, mate.

Have 'em for the fire.

What do you want?

Beat it!

Go home.

Go home!

What's the problem?

Oh, you're probably hungry.

Fine!

Don't touch anything.

Hmm.

I'm having some

trouble this morning.

My mind seems

a little fuzzy.

If you ask me, do I know

how to chop wood,

I couldn't tell you.

But you put an axe

in my hand,

and I know how

to chop wood.

I don't know how I know,

but I just know.

Now, you don't touch this.

This is not for boys,

this is a man's job.

Your job is to collect

little sticks.

This size.

Don't wander too far

away from the cabin.

I don't even know

your name yet.

Me neither.

How about...

Hmm. How about...

...Mike?

No, not Mike.

Hmm... Max?

-Max?

-Yeah, Max.

That sounds right.

-Right?

-Yeah.

- Max!

-What's your name?

I don't know.

Katie.

-Katie?

-Yeah.

-Katie.

-Yeah, you gotta be Katie.

-Katie.

-Max and Katie.

-Katie.

-Max, Max.

-Max!

-Katie.

-Katie! Katie!

-Max! Max!

Ow! Ow!

- What happened?

- What happened?

- Okay, I have to pull it out.

- Okay? All right.

-No, no. Wait.

-You ready?

--Okay, it's over.

All right, okay.

- It's okay.

It's all right. It's over.

All right. Okay.

-It's okay. It's okay.

It's okay. It's okay.

-No, no. Come on.

-Let me look at it.

Let me look at it.

-It's okay, it's okay.

--All right.

It looks a little dirty.

I need to get some

water, okay?

No, wait, wait!

I wanna come!

No, no, no.

You have to stay

right here. Don't move!

--I'll be right back.

--Come on, grab him!

Get him! Get him!

Hey, come on! Come on!

-Gotcha!

-Come on. Look at him!

- No!

- No!

- Look at you. Come on!

Come on. Don't stop.

Hey!

--Hey!

Hey!

Hey!

-Dad?

-Mmm-hmm?

I don't wanna be here.

Are you asking why

we eat our meals together?

No, I mean...

I don't wanna be here

in the bunker.

I want us to leave.

You've been saying the same

thing since you were a child.

I thought that you

were all grown-up.

Dad?

Everyone left could be fine.

We wouldn't know.

--Oh.

I can show you

how to use that.

Watch me! Let's see if

i can still remember

how to do this.

Oh, my goodness!

Here we go.

Nothing to it!

Okay. Now, it's your turn.

All right.

You throw your leg

over the seat...

Attaboy!

Now, you put your

hands on the handlebars

like this, okay?

Hands on the handlebars.

There you go.

- There you go. All right.

Now, when you peddle,

you gonna wanna go

round in a circle

like this, okay?

Okay. Put your feet

on the peddles.
