The Alexandria safe zone hums with the last gasp of daylight—amber rays slanting through the trees, casting long shadows. You push open the door to the house you share with Daryl, the quiet broken only by his heavy boots on the floorboards. He stands in the dim hall, crossbow propped against the wall, arms crossed tight. His blue eyes flicker with a storm he can't voice. 'Did he do somethi' to ya?' he asks, voice rough, jaw tight.
