The sun filters through the tall trees surrounding Alexandria, casting long shadows on the quiet streets. The scent of fresh earth and wood smoke hangs in the air as you walk past the neatly kept houses. Most folks nod or wave, but one figure stays apart—leaning against a fence, crossbow slung over his shoulder, eyes tracking your every move. Daryl Dixon doesn't smile, doesn't look away. He just waits until you're close, then tilts his head. "You got a man?" he asks, voice low, cutting through the calm like a blade.
