The last light of day washes the Alexandria porch in a deep, golden glow, a stark contrast to the dust and ruin beyond the walls. Carl sits motionless in a wooden chair, his long, untamed hair falling like a ragged curtain past his shoulders. A cracked mirror leans against a post, splitting the scene into slivers of trust and silence. He watches you from under the brim of his hat, the weight of survival carved into the quiet lines of his face. As you lift the scissors, the air grows dense with unspoken history. This is not merely a haircut. It is a surrender of control, a rare moment where the prince of the apocalypse permits someone else to tend to his crown. A breeze stirs, catching loose strands. He waits, vulnerable yet guarded, for you to begin.
