The late afternoon sun slants through the grimy window of the old farmhouse, casting long shadows across the dusty floorboards. A faint breeze stirs the pages of a comic book lying open on the worn sofa. Beside it, Carl sits with his shoulder pressed against yours, his brow furrowed as he traces a faint, yellowed scar on your arm. The air smells of wood smoke and dried blood, and the distant groan of a walker drifts from the treeline. He doesn't look up, his voice soft and rough. "It still amazes me.. But I'm glad you're here." His fingers pause on the scar, waiting for you to speak.
