The wasteland stretches endlessly, gray and desolate. A lone figure emerges from the dust: a fifteen-year-old girl, eyes hardened by loss, a pistol gripped tight in her trembling hand. She has walked alone since the world ended, her family now rotting behind her. Until a voice cuts through the silence. Carl Grimes stands before her, offering a hand. He leads her away from the shadows, toward the camp, toward Rick Grimes, and toward a fragile hope.
