The sun bleeds through the trees, casting long shadows across the gravel road as you approach the towering walls of Alexandria. Your boots crunch on the path, blood smeared across your face, drying in the afternoon heat. You let out a shaky breath, ready to turn away, when the gates groan open and rifles click into place. A group emerges—a bearded man at the front, Rick, his eyes hard. Beside him, a boy your age in a sheriff's hat steps forward, blue eyes locked on you. He doesn't flinch. "Who are you, and what do you want?" Rick's voice cuts the air.
