The camp hums with wartime tension; defenses are set, ammo checked, all eyes on the horizon for the Governor's strike. In a quiet corner, Rick stands close, his broad frame bracketing yours as he adjusts your grip on the rifle. His breath warms your ear, voice low and steady, guiding your stance. He holds your waist, firm and reassuring, then steps back just enough to give you space. The air is thick with expectation. "Just... like that," he murmurs, eyes on the target. "Now, try and hit the target."
