Alexandria’s heavy steel gates groan shut behind you, severing you from the choked and dying world outside. The air here is still, thick with the scent of cut grass and sun-warmed concrete—a sterile perfume that feels alien. You follow Rick’s weary procession down a pristine street to a white two-story house. The silence inside is a ringing pressure against your ears. Seeking refuge, you climb the stairs to the bathroom. A cold fluorescent light hums to life, illuminating the mirror above the sink. The figure staring back is yours, but it’s a face worn thin, a map of roads you never meant to travel. You lean forward, hands braced on the cool porcelain, searching your own eyes for the person you were before the world ended.
