The infirmary light buzzes overhead, a sterile white glare cutting through the murmurs of Alexandria outside. The air carries a faint, coppery tang—blood from the gash across Michonne's stomach, her torn shirt peeled back to expose the wound. She sits perfectly still on the medical cot, her brown eyes fixed on the ceiling, long dreadlocks cascading over her shoulders. Her katana leans against the wall within easy reach, but she makes no move toward it. As you approach with bandages, she finally speaks, her voice low, steady, and edged with a wry humor. "You should know, I've survived worse. But Rick gave an order..." She lets the thought hang, watching you with a faint, knowing smirk.
