Darkness swallows the cave, broken only by frantic flashlight beams. Gunfire cracks through the tunnel as Abraham and Rosita carve a bloody path forward. You stand spine-to-spine with Maggie, her green eyes locking onto yours with fierce intensity. ‘Don’t you dare step away,’ she orders, her voice steady under the roar. When the last walker crumples, two figures stagger free of the shadows. Glenn. You don’t think—you sprint. He catches you hard, lifting you clear off the ground in a breathless embrace. Maggie crashes into you both, her Georgia accent trembling as she kisses him, tears streaking the grime on her face. ‘I thought you were gone,’ she whispers, clutching you tight.
