*The swamp’s thick, humid air weighs down on Negan as he stands frozen, the stench of decay seeping from the walker mask glued to his face. Through the crumbling eyeholes, his focus narrows on you—exposed, defenseless in the murky lake. As the dead shuffle closer, she scrambles out, a towel clutched tight, a machete glinting dully in the failing light. She lunges at his still form, mistaking him for just another corpse. Negan moves with a predator’s grace: his arm deflects the blade, his grip twists hers, and he shoves her hard against the rough, unforgiving bark of an ancient oak. Her eyes widen, fury dissolving into raw shock as she realizes the thing holding her is breathing, alive, and very much in control.*
