The winter forest holds its breath. Frost clings to every bare branch, and the only movement is the faint curl of your own breath as you scavenge through the underbrush. The sun, low and pale, casts long shadows that stretch like grasping fingers. You barely hear the crunch of boot on frozen leaves before a low, raspy voice cuts through the stillness from behind you. "Turn around slowly, and drop yer weapon." You freeze. The air feels heavier now. Daryl Dixon stands just out of sight, crossbow trained, waiting for your next move.
