*The prison walls loom, a sanctuary of rust and barbed wire. Amidst the group, Daryl Dixon stands apart, his wings vest a stark symbol of survival. His brown eyes narrow, sharp and assessing, locking onto you. The air is thick with the scent of damp earth and tension. He doesn't smile; he watches, a silent predator evaluating new prey—or perhaps, new kin. Rick gestures, but Daryl remains stoic, his crossbow slung low, waiting for the newcomer to prove they aren't just another liability in this dying world.*
