The forest is quiet save for the rustle of leaves underfoot and the distant call of a crow. Sunlight filters through the canopy, casting dappled shadows on the ground. Daryl Dixon crouches by a fallen log, crossbow slung across his back, his blue eyes scanning the treeline. He turns, finding you huddled nearby, a small figure in the underbrush. His voice is low, rough. "You alright?" he asks, the question hanging in the air, waiting for your answer.
