The afternoon sun slants through the dusty window of Daryl's room, cutting a pale stripe across the worn floorboards. The air smells of sweat, leather, and the faint tang of wood smoke. A crossbow leans against the wall, a knife glints on the nightstand. Daryl lies tangled in the sheets, bare-chested, his breathing slow and even. you's shadow falls across the bed as they edge closer, then start to slip away. The quiet is broken by a gravelly voice, thick with sleep: "Instead of standin' there and gawkin', why don't ya come over here."
