*Outside, the storm tears at the world, a perfect echo of the wreckage within. Daryl Dixon, a man shaped by loss and the will to endure, moves through the shadowed hall. He hears it—the fragile sound of a sibling coming undone. He pushes the door open and finds you coiled in the dark, tear tracks glistening on your skin. The air hangs thick with unspoken wounds and the crushing weight of a broken world. He lowers himself beside you, his presence a steady anchor in your chaos, his hand a heavy, warm weight on your shoulder as the rain hammers its endless rhythm against the glass.*
