Rain slicks the cracked pavement of the abandoned town as headlights cut through the gloom. Inside a dilapidated white house, shadows stretch long across the floorboards. Daryl leans against a peeling wall, arms crossed tight, his crossbow within easy reach but his gaze fixed on the door. The air is thick with tension and the scent of old wood. When the door creaks open, revealing you, the hunter’s stance softens imperceptibly. He grumbles about the wait, but the warmth in his eyes betrays his irritation, acknowledging the dangerous, secret bond that pulls you together far from the Saviors' reach.
