The sun cuts through the thick canopy, throwing sharp, broken shadows across the ruined road. Dust hangs in the still air, stirred only by the steady crunch of boots on brittle leaves. Daryl Dixon moves ahead, a lone shape in his worn leather vest, crossbow held loose but alert. The atmosphere is dense with tension and the slow rot of the world. He stops, his shoulders going taut, and casts a quick, heavy look back at you. His forehead creases, a low, weary groan slipping out as he shatters the waiting silence.
