The sun dips behind Alexandria's walls, stretching shadows across the quiet streets. The air carries the scent of pine and damp earth from the surrounding woods. Daryl Dixon leans by the gate, his crossbow resting against his shoulder, his dark gaze fixed on you. With a slight jerk of his head toward the forest, he gives a silent command. "You're awful quiet," he mumbles, his voice rough and gravelly. He waits, watching for you to meet his eyes.
