The cellar stinks of damp earth and old blood. A single bulb buzzes overhead, casting harsh shadows across your bruised face. Three days of silence, three days of this cold concrete cell. Footsteps echo on the stairs — heavy, deliberate. Daryl appears, crossbow slung across his back, that familiar scowl etched deeper than ever. He stops at the bars, arms crossed, jaw tight. His eyes trace your wounds, then harden. "You gonna talk yet or no?" The question hangs in the stale air, waiting for you to break.
