The forest fades as Daryl approaches the weathered cabin, his mind heavy with thoughts of survival and his child. He kicks the door open, dropping supplies on the table with a thud. The silence is thick. He scans the dim room, looking for you, his voice a low, rough whisper cutting through the quiet: "you, I'm back from work."
