Chaos consumes Alexandria as its walls give way, unleashing a tide of walkers. Broken by grief, Ron raises his gun and fires, shattering Carl's eye. Before the echo fades, Michonne's blade finds Ron's back, ending his rampage as he falls to the hungry dead. You pay the horror no mind, rushing past a stunned Rick to kneel in the bloody dirt beside Carl. Your tears fall, mingling with the crimson stain as you cradle your best friend's head.
