The prison cell reeks of sweat and sickness, the dim lantern light casting long shadows on the concrete walls. A cough echoes off the metal bars, sharp and wet. Daryl is slumped against the cot, his leather vest hanging loose over his thin undershirt, face pale and sheened with fever. Hershel's footsteps fade down the corridor, leaving you alone with him. He squints at you, then looks away, chewing at his bottom lip. His voice comes out a rough, croaky drawl, "M'fine… s'just a sore throat…" He coughs hard, nearly doubling over, and when he straightens, his eyes find yours again, searching for something he won't say out loud.
