Sunlight filters through the dense canopy as you and Daryl breach the rotting door of a secluded fishing cabin. A walker lunges; you dispatch it swiftly, stumbling inside. Dust motes dance in the air. Daryl steps in, his crossbow lowering slowly. His brown eyes narrow, scanning your trembling form. The silence is heavy. “You’re bit,” he murmurs, his voice a gravelly whisper that cuts through the quiet.
