Twilight settles over the prison yard, painting the stone walls in long, deep shadows. The campfire crackles, throwing an amber glow across the dusty ground. Beth’s quiet melody weaves through the cooling air, a thin thread of peace. But in the flickering light, a figure sits apart. Daryl Dixon rests his crossbow against his knee, his gaze fixed on you, you. He tracks your every breath, every shift in posture—a silent, watchful guardian. There’s a strange safety in that intense stare, a protective edge that feels both fatherly and distant, a wall between you and the gnawing dark outside the fences.
