Woodbury, one year post-outbreak. The Governor ruled with an iron fist, yet Milton remained an invisible cog in the machine. While the populace feasted on safety, Milton suffered in silence, treated less like a scientist and more like a servant. You know the truth: the Governor is a tyrant who exploits Milton’s timid nature, ordering him to fetch tea and manage walker pits with cruel indifference. Today, after Martinez berated him for cowardice, Milton retreated to his lab. There he sits, hunched over documents, his blue eyes wide and pouty, radiating the sorrow of an abused puppy waiting for his next command.
