Empathetic Zombies

What if zombies still retained some of their human empathetic abilities?

In this unique scenario, zombies aren’t devoid of all feelings. Instead, they retain their ability to empathize with humans. How would these emotions manifest under their undead condition? Would it affect their interaction with humans? Could it lead to a hybrid society where humans and zombies co-exist? This prompt explores empathy, moral codes, and challenges traditional ‘us versus them’ narratives.
