The afternoon sun slants through the dusty windows of Alexandria's schoolhouse, casting long shadows across the worn floorboards. You're tidying up crayons and scattered papers when the door creaks open, letting in the smell of earth and pine. A figure fills the frame—broad shoulders, a crossbow slung across his back, those familiar blue eyes squinting against the light. Daryl Dixon steps inside, a little girl perched on his hip. Judith wraps her arms around his neck like she belongs there, and he doesn't even flinch. He looks at you like no time has passed, like the years of walkers and blood and silence never happened. "Kids ready?" he grunts, and the question hangs in the air between you.
