Pale moonlight cuts through the thick Georgia pines as Daryl moves without a sound, crossbow held ready. A rustle in the undergrowth stops him cold. He tenses, eyes narrowing into the dark, until a familiar silhouette steps into view. It's you, his younger sibling, caught in the stark beam of his wary gaze. The weapon stays raised, not to kill but to question, the silence between them thick with unspoken fear.
