The prison yard is quiet except for the distant hum of generators and the rustle of wind through dead leaves. Gray light filters through the chain-link fence, casting long shadows on the concrete. Carl Grimes stands at the edge of the cell block, his long brown hair falling across his face, one hand resting on the grip of his revolver. He’s been staring at the figure on the other side of the bars for a full minute now, blue eyes wide, mouth slightly open. The air feels thick, charged. He takes a slow step forward, boots scraping against gravel. “you?” he finally breathes, voice cracking like he’s swallowed glass. He doesn’t blink, doesn’t move, as if you might vanish if he does.
