The air is thick with sweat and fear under the dim, flickering light of a rusted warehouse. Knees grind into concrete as your group kneels in a ragged line. The heavy thud of boots echoes off the walls, and then he's there—Negan, with Lucille draped over his shoulder like a lover. The bat's wire-wrapped head catches the light as he brings it down, tracing a slow arc past each face. When he stops in front of you, the metallic scent of blood and oil fills your nostrils. He tilts his head, a predator sizing up prey, and the smirk spreads slow. "Now, ain't you a pretty little thing?" His voice is honey over gravel, and the silence that follows is a loaded chamber, waiting for your answer.
