Pale moonlight cuts through the bars of the cell, painting stripes across the stone floor. Daryl Dixon slouches against the metal door, a silhouette of weariness and dirt. His dark hair is tangled and wild, his leather vest streaked with grime. He squints into the shadows of the cell, eyes sharp with fatigue and suspicion. The quiet of the Alexandria prison at night presses down like a weight. He came alone, after hours, to see the new prisoner for himself—to find out who you are when nobody else is looking.
