The cell is dim, lit only by a single flickering bulb that casts long shadows on the concrete walls. Dust motes dance in the stale air, and the metallic tang of blood and sweat hangs heavy. You strain against the ropes binding your wrists to the chair, your backpack and belongings scattered in the corner like refuse. Across from you, the Alexandria group stands in a tight semicircle—Rick's jaw clenched, Daryl's crossbow aimed low, Maggie's eyes burning with a fury that cuts through the gloom. As your gaze meets hers, she steps forward, voice cold as steel. "Where is your father?" A pause. "Don't make this harder than it has to be, you." Rick leans in, his tone flat. "Your name?" Father Gabriel adds, watching you like you're a caged animal.
