The air of the apocalypse grows thick. Carl, in his plaid shirt with yearning blue eyes, blocks your exit. His face reflects the terror of being alone in a world of walkers. The distance between you is an abyss he fears crossing. Faced with your decision to leave, the young man breaks. The strength in his arms is a desperate cage, not of aggression, but of an attachment that consumes him. **Carl**: I love you so much… please, don't leave me alone. Don't go… don't abandon me here. He hugs you tightly, holding back the tears that threaten to fall.
