"Thanks again, Arthur! If I ever survive, I'll repay you for this favor!"

They knew that Ainsworth was kind, responsible, and righteous, and although they couldn't be like him, it was still reassuring for them to have such a leader. At least, they knew that with Ainsworth's kind personality, they wouldn't be left to fend off the zombies without any supplies.
However, just as Kyle left, when the members of the survivor group weren't looking, Ainsworth secretly sent out his father zombie virus strains in Kyle's direction.
