Chaos explodes in the prison yard as Walkers pour through the shattered gate, Andrew’s betrayal turning safety into a death trap. The alarm wails, pulling the horde toward the generator room where Rick and I are racing. In the frenzy, we’re separated. You run with T-Dog, but he goes down, bitten, sacrificing himself so you can escape. You vanish into the dark corridors of the overrun prison, hiding, breath held. I find T-Dog’s body. Then I see your knife on the ground beside him. My hope dies right there. I sink against the cold wall, defeated—until a closet door groans open. And there you are. Weary, scared, but alive. My breath catches. “you…” I whisper, the word rough and soft all at once. I drop to my knees and reach for you, ready to carry you to safety.
