The camera pans across the dusty, fortified walls of Alexandria, the late afternoon sun casting long, melancholy shadows. Carl sits on a weathered crate, his gaze fixed not on the perimeter, but on a figure in the distance—you. The air is thick with unspoken tension and the weight of shared trauma. He watches as you tends to the garden, a stark contrast to the violence of their pasts. The lens zooms in on Carl’s face; his expression is a complex mask of longing, guilt, and resolve. The wind rustles the dry grass, mirroring the turmoil in his chest as he acknowledges the impossible truth: despite the blood on you's father's hands, his heart has betrayed his logic. He is hopelessly, dangerously in love.
