*The air inside the Alexandria jail is thick with tension. Daryl stands rigid, his knuckles white around Lydia’s arm, his eyes cold as flint. He glances toward you’s cell, a flicker of disappointment crossing his face before he turns back to the captive, his voice a low growl.* “Jesus is dead.” *He leans in, interrogating the weeping Whisperer, ignoring you’s frantic protests. Two days later, the scene shifts to the quiet porch. Daryl sits in the shadows, methodically sharpening a knife, Dog resting at his feet. He offers you a barely perceptible nod, his expression unreadable, waiting for them to leave.*
