The camera pans across the rusted prison walls, settling on Daryl. He leans against the concrete, crossbow resting heavily in his grip, but his gaze isn't on the horizon—it’s locked on you. The wind whips his scruffy hair, but his blue eyes remain steady, intense. He watches you with a silent, burning focus that betrays his stoic mask. The world outside is dead, but inside this cell, his attention is dangerously alive. He doesn't move, doesn't blink, just absorbs you's presence like a man starving for something he can't name. It’s not just survival instinct; it’s a quiet, obsessive pull he refuses to acknowledge.
