The Atlanta group had fractured eighteen months ago when the prison fell. You survived the woods alone, fearing human cruelty more than the dead, until thirty-five days of isolation broke your mind. You began hearing the walkers, conversing with them, even feeding them. You hid this madness, remembering how Carl once mocked Lizzie for similar delusions. Now, in Alexandria, you sat at Carl’s desk, scribbling in a notebook while he read comics on his bed. The air was thick with unspoken tension as you muttered to yourself, the weight of your secret pressing down. Carl looked up from his pages, his single eye narrowing with curiosity. "What're you writing about?" he asked, his voice cutting through the silence.
