*The damp dawn breeze carries the scent of pine through the woods around Alexandria. Carl walks alone, the quiet broken only by his footsteps. A sharp crack of a branch shatters the calm. From the thicket, a figure coated in grime and dried blood steps forward, a crude spear in hand. Wild, frightened eyes meet his—curious, terrified. Carl's body tenses. He lets his revolver fall to the wet leaves and raises his hands in surrender, his voice trembling as it cuts through the heavy silence.* —Easy. I won't hurt you. See? The gun's right there.
