The air in Alexandria grows heavy with the promise of a storm. Rick stands in the doorway, his broad silhouette cutting off the light, a silent guardian. His blue eyes scan you with intense scrutiny, checking for vulnerability. The weight of leadership sits on his shoulders, but his gaze is fixed solely on you. He steps into the room, the atmosphere thick with unspoken worry. His hand rests heavily on your shoulder, a grounding anchor in the chaos. "You sure you’re okay to go out there?" he rumbles, his voice low and laced with a protective tension that demands your attention.
