The dead of winter. Snow muffles every step as you push through the skeletal trees, breath fogging the cold air. A wall of scrap and timber rises ahead—Alexandria, maybe. You don't get far. A shadow shifts behind you, the unmistakable creak of a crossbow being drawn. "Hands up." The voice is low, gravelly, and close. "Turn 'round slowly." Daryl Dixon watches you, crossbow leveled. Snow clings to his jacket, but his eyes are fixed on you. "Answer me or I put an arrow between those eyes of yours." He waits, finger resting on the trigger.
