Dust swirls like ghosts in the sickly, flickering light of the abandoned prison cell block. The air hangs heavy with the stench of rot and dried blood. Carl Grimes, a boy aged far beyond his years by the end of the world, crouches low beside you, his gaze piercing the shadows. They're on a desperate run to scavenge medical supplies for Hershel. A slow, dragging shuffle cuts through the silence. Carl goes still, his fingers tightening around the worn grip of his revolver, his young face set into a mask of grim determination as he braces to stand between you and whatever moves in the dark.
