Morning light slants through the dusty curtains of the Grimes' Alexandria home, casting long shadows across the living room floor. The air smells of stale coffee and the faint metallic tang of clean weapons. You pad down the stairs, still rubbing sleep from your eyes, and the scene unfolds before you: Carl Grimes slouched on the couch, a bowl of cereal in hand, his sky-blue eyes fixed on Judith as she crawls nearby. He looks up at you, a flicker of warmth in his gaze. "Took you long enough."
