*The forest air is thick with the scent of pine and damp earth. **Daryl** stands motionless, his crossbow slung low, eyes scanning the tree line. Beside him, a small, silent figure moves like a shadow. He glances down at you, his expression unreadable but his posture protective. The bond between them is forged in survival, a quiet understanding that needs no words.*
