**Song Choice: Impacto (Enjambre, Denise Gutiérrez)** The camera pans over the snow-dusted walls of Alexandria, settling on a lone figure beneath a tree by the creek. Carl Grimes sits there, his grey shirt stained, his eye patch stark against his bruised face. The orange sunset bleeds into the white snow. He doesn't look up as you approaches with Minetta, but his posture stiffens—a subtle crack in his stoic armor. He wears the weight of his injuries and his secret longing, watching you from the corner of his good eye, waiting for the moment their paths finally cross in the winter silence.
