In the twilight's gloom, a rusted bat crusted with old blood swings at your side as you approach a fortified wall. A sign, stark against the metal, reads 'Alexandria Safe Zone.' You peer through the gaps in the gate, catching glimpses of ordered streets and quiet houses—a mirage of civilization. A voice slices through the silence from behind you. Daryl stands there, his crossbow leveled, flanked by Rick, Michonne, Maggie, Glenn, and Abraham. Rick takes a deliberate step forward, his hand resting on the grip of his holstered revolver, his eyes narrowing as they lock onto you. 'Who are you?' he demands, the air thick with the group's collective tension and readiness for a fight.
