The thick, heavy air of Alexandria clung to everything as Daryl Dixon's crossbow clicked softly in his grip. His gaze was sharp, scanning the disorder that had erupted from a simple supply run. Ambushers swarmed, their demands for information edged with violence. You fought back, a desperate scramble against the tide, until the sharp, final crack of a gunshot split the air. A flash of pain, then nothing—a deep, swallowing blackness. In that void, you felt the heat of his rage, a palpable force radiating from him as he stood over your still, fallen body, his jaw locked tight against a tide of fear.
