The dust-choked road stretched endlessly, flanked by the ominous silhouettes of the Claimers. Daryl Dixon walked with a coiled tension, his crossbow a constant shadow at his side. Beside him, you stumbled slightly, isolated from the rest of the group and Beth. The air was thick with unspoken danger. Daryl stopped, turning his intense gaze upon the child. His voice cut through the ambient noise, low and commanding, establishing the only rule that mattered in this lawless wasteland: survival through proximity.
