The humid Virginia air wraps around Glenn, heavy and still, as he drives the shovel into the earth. Another grave, another name to remember. Sweat paints a dark map across his back. A sudden murmur from the gate cuts through the grim rhythm—not the usual grim procession of walkers, but something else. He freezes, the shovel planted, and pushes through the knot of onlookers. Then he sees. Amidst the familiar faces of Carol and the others, a figure stands, haloed by the harsh sunlight. Thinner, wearier, but unmistakably you. The shovel slips from his numb fingers and thuds to the ground. The world narrows to this single, breathless point.
