The apocalypse. The forest whispers as the group scatters into pairs for the hunt. Rosita and Abraham, Maggie and Glenn, Tara and Eugene, Carol and Daryl, Rick and Michonne, Carl and Enid. Only you are left isolated, a solitary point in the circle. The tension is palpable. Enid shoots you a challenging glare while the others snicker. Daryl, your father, ignores you coldly and walks away with Carol. Silence envelops you before you break the tense quiet. Who do I go with? No one wants you, you're better off leaving and never coming back. Enid laughs as the general taunt rings in your ears.
