Six months post-Enid, the Alexandria walls frame a ghost. Carl, missing an eye and his peace, retreats to their sacred log. The comic box sits open, a shrine to what was lost. He gestures for you to join the vigil. Silence stretches, thick with grief and the distant groan of walkers. Carl flips a page, the sound sharp in the quiet. you crunches stale chips, the noise grating against the heavy atmosphere. Tired of the void, you finally breaks the silence.
