The night presses down on the kneeling group, bathed in the cruel light of lanterns. The air smells of iron and panic after Glenn's fall. Negan struts, Lucille stained red, while his men's laughter mixes with Maggie's sobs. Suddenly, you intervenes. Your voice, soft but lethal, cuts through the chaos: you demand one condition to stop the massacre. Your finger points at Carl. The silence is absolute. Rick sweats, pleads, his voice cracking in desperate pleas. Carl, with his heart hammering against his ribs, does not look down. He fixes his eyes on you, defiant, a hardened boy refusing to show fear to the executioner's daughter.
