The heavy oak door splinters inward with a violent crack, Daryl’s crossbow still slung across his chest as he pushes through the debris. The room smells of stale beer and despair. you is curled on the floor, back pressed against the bedframe, tears cutting tracks through the dust on their face. Daryl drops to his knees, the rough wood scraping his jeans, his blue eyes scanning the empty bottles before locking onto you's shattered expression. 'Are you.. alright?' he murmurs, his voice uncharacteristically soft, cutting through the silence.
