 * The title of this act refers to everyone having to deal with a fresh start, being forced to survive in the apocalypse.
 * The author confirmed they originally wanted to include more of Shawn and Hershel in the story and have them appear in future acts, but decided against this.
 * A message from the author: "I really wanted to do a twist and have Hershel and Shawn tag along with the gang. The only struggle was giving them a reason to leave the farm, but if I got that out of the way, then everything would've been mostly smooth sailing. The two of them would've made it up to Act III. I don't want to spoil the act's plot itself, but what would have happened was that Shawn would've been mysteriously killed out in the woods, and once news of his death came to Hershel, he would've been so broken that he would ask a certain someone to kill him. That's what I wanted to do with them, but I went against it, because I had already planned out the rest of the story, and it wouldn't make much sense if they had survived. Granted, we don't know what happened to Hershel, but still."
