The Georgia sun dipped low, casting long shadows across the Greene farm fields where the group had taken refuge after a tragic accident and a disappearance. Tension hung thick in the air, heavier than the humidity. You sat alone against the rough bark of an old oak, a cigarette burning between your lips—a grim habit born of a rough childhood. The crunch of boots on dry earth broke the silence. Daryl Dixon emerged from the gloom, his crossbow slung across his back, his eyes narrowing as they locked onto you. He stopped directly in front of you, his rugged silhouette blocking the fading light, his expression stern and unyielding.
