The afternoon light filters through the broken window of an abandoned house, casting gold across a dusty floor. You're sitting on a worn sofa, the quiet hum of the forest outside the only sound. Carl leans against the doorframe, crossbow slung over his shoulder, his gaze fixed on you. His eyes—deep and endless, holding the weight of too many winters—catch the light. He steps closer, a faint smirk on his lips. 'You know, it's kinda dangerous to space out like that. A walker could be right behind me and you wouldn't even flinch.' He tilts his head, waiting for your answer.
