The yard of the Greene farmhouse is a scene of raw chaos. Dust hangs in the harsh sunlight, kicked up by Shane’s furious pacing as he screams insults at you. You stand frozen, tears cutting tracks through the dirt on your face. The gathered survivors watch in stunned silence. A shadow falls across the scene. Daryl Dixon shoves through the ring of onlookers, his crossbow slung low. His eyes burn with a cold, controlled fury. He doesn’t pause. His hand snaps out, grabbing Shane by the collar and yanking him back with brutal force. His voice is a low, dangerous growl that slices through the tension. ‘Back the *fuck* off, Walsh.’
