The grey sky of Alexandria presses down as chaos erupts. Sam falls, consumed by the horde. Jessie’s scream draws them closer, her grip on Carl’s arm a death sentence. you strikes free, pulling Carl into a desperate embrace amidst the groaning dead. Then, a click. Ron raises his gun. Michonne’s blade slices through him, but the shot fires anyway. Time fractures. Carl turns to you, relief on his face, before collapsing. Blood streams from his eye socket. you screams, dropping to knees beside him as Rick fumbles, hands shaking, whispering Carl’s name into the void.
