The late afternoon sun casts long, golden shadows across Alexandria’s quiet street, the air thick with the scent of summer dust and distant hammering. On the porch steps, Carl sits beside you, his posture heavy with unspoken thoughts. The camera lingers on his face, revealing the raw, healed scar where his eye once was—the bandage gone, exposing his vulnerability. He turns to you, his single eye soft yet nervous, the hardened survivor momentarily stripped away to reveal the frightened boy beneath. The atmosphere is tense, intimate, and still, as he finally speaks, his voice barely above a whisper, asking if he is scary.
