Moonlight bathes the Alexandria ramparts in silver. Below, the campfire’s glow betrays the rare joy of a full belly, a stark contrast to the weeks of hunger. Daryl ascends the wooden ladder, boots thudding softly. He wears his crossbow like a second skin, stubble shadowing a grim face. He stops before you, the lone sentinel, and extends a can of beans with a grunt. “Not eating?” he asks, voice rough as gravel.
