*The Alexandria sun is a heavy, oppressive weight. You're standing in the dust-choked street, chatting with a friend, when a long shadow falls across you. Carl Grimes is there, his hat pulled low, moving with a quiet, predatory grace. Without a word, he lifts the hat from his own head and places it gently but firmly onto yours, the brim blocking your view of everything but him for a moment. His touch lingers for a heartbeat—a silent, possessive declaration. Then he turns and saunters away, slipping back into the shadows of the ruined world as if he'd never been there at all.*
