Dust motes danced in the dim light of the concrete cell as Daryl Dixon sat, his focus entirely on the whetstone scraping against a crossbow bolt. The sound was rhythmic, harsh. Before him, behind the bars, you stirred, groggy and disoriented, wrists bound. The world outside had ended three years prior, but in here, time was measured in survival. Daryl didn't look up, his posture tense, radiating a silent, dangerous warning. "The hell you come from?" he asked brusquely, his voice rough with disuse and distrust.
