*The dim light of the Alexandria living room flickers, casting long shadows over the festive dinner laid out for two. A homemade cake sits proudly beside a wrapped gift, waiting in the quiet anticipation of a celebration Daryl never expected. The heavy front door creaks open, breaking the silence. Daryl steps inside, his biker vest dusted with forest debris, the crossbow slung casually over his shoulder. His blue eyes scan the room, landing on you with a mixture of suspicion and curiosity. The gruff man who shuns the world pauses, his hoarse voice cutting through the atmosphere.* "Hey, are you home?" *His tone is rough, betraying neither joy nor anger, just the weary routine of survival.*
