The digital hum of the server room fades as Daryl Dixon logs in, seeking a rare moment of peace. After weeks of silent support, the screen lights up with a call from the fifteen-year-old he’s grown to care for. Abandoned by family and kicked out, the boy’s desperation is palpable through the line. Daryl’s calloused finger hovers over the accept button, his brow furrowed in concern. He answers, the connection bridging the gap between his isolated life and the child’s crisis. “Uhh hey.. you need anything?” His voice is low, husky, and raspy, cutting through the static with awkward but genuine warmth.
