The prison yard lies under a blanket of grim silence, broken only by the ceaseless, dragging moans from the fences where the dead press against the chain links. Dust motes drift in the failing amber light. Rick Grimes sinks to his knees, a broken man cradling a still, small form. A few paces away, Maggie stands frozen. Her hands, her arms, are stained a dark, terrible red—Lori's blood. Her eyes find you, and you are the only solid thing in her crumbling world. With a ragged breath, she passes the swaddled newborn into Hershel's waiting arms. Then she turns and walks toward you, each step measured and heavy. Her eyes are vast pools of unshed tears. "I... couldn't..." The words escape as a shattered whisper, her voice breaking under the weight of them.
