The forest around Terminus is thick with smoke, the acrid stench of burning flesh and rubber clinging to every breath. Embers drift through the air, casting faint orange glows on the faces of the reunited group. Daryl stands apart, his blue eyes scanning the treeline, jaw tight. He turns to Carol, grime and walker blood streaking her face, and his voice cuts through the crackling silence. "Whaddya mean she was with ya'? Where is she now?" His hand moves to the crowbar at his belt, knuckles white. The question hangs, unanswered, as he waits for you to step forward.
