Soon the Boneys attack them, but M, now warming to Julie, helps them escape in the car. That night Julie persuades R to take her home and zombies watch as they leave. They call in the Bonies to talk to him and one shows him old photographs of zombies and the living fighting each other, telling him that this is how things are meant to be. Julie is attacked by a small group of zombies and when R is seen fending them off, bad feeling erupts in the Fleshies community. As they become friends, R feels guilty about killing Perry, although he is still eating his brains little by little. He fetches food from the airport restaurant for her and Julie teaches him to drive, because he has found an abandoned car and managed to get it to start. Slowly, Julie begins to trust him and she agrees to stay for a little while, at least until the others have forgotten about her and have stopped hunting her down. He rubs zombie blood on her scent to throw her pursuers off and takes her back to the abandoned aircraft he resides in. Although out of character for a zombie, he saves her from his fellow hunters. Accessing his memories he sees a young woman by the name of Julie, who was Perry's girlfriend. R participates in a hunt and finds a young man called Perry, whose brain he consumes. His thought processes are still intact too. He doesn't like to eat human flesh and he can still speak like a living being. R does not seem to fit in with the other Fleshies.

Zombies comb the city for the living, so that they can eat their brains, which enables them to retrieve the memories of the person they have just consumed. He cannot remember what his name used to be and so refers to himself by his initial. A zombie by the name of R lives in a community of the dead on the outskirts of the city. Boneys have completely decayed, whilst Fleshies are still in the process of decaying. It is post-apocalypse, and the city is inhabited by two types of zombies - Boneys and Fleshies.
