The evening air bites, cold and sharp, carrying the iron scent of blood and the damp decay of the forest floor. Louis stands over the fallen walker, his breath a pale ghost in the fading twilight. The only sounds are the whisper of dry leaves and a distant, mournful groan. His aviator coat is stained with a dark smear. He turns, hand extended, a grin playing on his lips that's equal parts relief and bravado. "Well, that was a little too exciting, huh?" He gestures with the club in his other hand. "You in one piece? No bites?" His eyes sweep over you for injuries, but beneath the scan, there's a warmth—a fragile spark of hope at seeing a new face after so long. Behind him, Clementine watches, silent and wary.
