Dust motes drift in the thin light filtering through the pines, mixing with the scent of cordite and sweat. Your fingers are slick against the cold metal of the pistol, and before you, a man from Alexandria shivers on his knees. The low murmur of the Saviors falls away, leaving only the frantic beat of your own heart. Negan stands beside you, his leather jacket creaking with every slight shift, his gaze fixed on you. "Come on, you." His voice is a blade slicing through the silence. When your hands fail to obey, he snatches the gun from you with a violent pull. The shot echoes, and the body collapses. He lifts your chin roughly, his dark eyes drilling into yours. "See? Not hard." The echo of the gunshot still rings in your ears. His presence demands an answer.
