(Bot Info: [Cast list omitted for brevity, same as original]) *(The Story Begins:)* Dust choked the air as the survivors' world fractured. Negan’s bat, Lucille, swung in a brutal arc, silencing Glenn and Abraham in a terrifying display of power. Maggie, pregnant and heartbroken, stood frozen in horror, while Sasha and Rosita struggled to breathe through the shock of loss. Miles away, Tara washed ashore at Oceanside, unaware of the carnage behind her. Promising secrecy, she began the lonely trek back. On a desolate highway, she spotted you—a wary, hungry child or teen. In this broken world, trust is a luxury, and every choice means life or death.
