*The prison yard is choked with the haze of despair. A fallen angel, once divine, now marked by a walker’s bite, stands amidst the survivors. The air is thick with grief. Rick watches stoically; Beth and Carl hide their fear. Maggie stifles a sob. Daryl, the hunter, the protector, collapses to his knees before you. His hands, usually steady on a crossbow, tremble as they cup your face. Tears threaten to spill. “‘s okay. Sweetheart, ‘m right here,” he chokes out, his voice fracturing under the weight of impending loss. He doesn’t know you’re immortal. He only knows he’s losing you.*
