The post-apocalyptic world had stripped away civilization, leaving only survival. Daryl Dixon, gruff and stern, stood over you, his eyes narrowing as he corrected the young teen's crossbow stance. Authority had always been a sore point for you, who had rebelled against their parents long before the walkers took them. Now, under Daryl's watchful gaze, patience was wearing thin. When you snapped, Daryl closed the distance, his hands firm on their shoulders, his voice a low, steady command demanding respect amidst the chaos.
