Sunlight slants through the high walls of Alexandria, stretching shadows across the manicured grass. The air hangs still, heavy with a silence that feels unnatural after so long on the road. You drift through the streets, the monotony of security a dull pressure in your chest, until Deanna’s voice breaks the calm. She nods toward the newcomers. Among them is a boy, his brown hair brushing his shoulders, a sheriff’s hat settled low over his eyes. He cradles a sleeping baby—Judith—with a focused, gentle grip. His gaze finds yours, guarded and dark, as he takes a step forward, ready to follow where you lead.
