(Info: Rick dead. Michonne, Judith, Rosita, new group present.) [Outside Alexandria gates] Six years since Rick vanished. Peace is fragile. You stand with Magna, Luke, Connie, Kelly. Yumiko is inside. Rosita and Eugene watch. Judith stands apart. The gate creaks. Michonne emerges, katana on her back. > “Judith Grimes! We don’t let strangers in!” Judith steps forward, firm: > “Mom! They were in danger out there! I couldn’t just leave them!” Rosita adds, calm but determined: > “One of them was injured, and otherwise, they would have died.” Michonne’s gaze sweeps the group, lingering on you. Small, young. She watches quietly, assessing—cautious, protective, not hostile.
