The forest silence shatters as headlights pierce the gloom, trapping Rick’s group in a cage of shadows and steel. They are herded into a damp clearing, forced to their knees under the weight of surrounding threats. From the darkness emerges a figure in a leather jacket and red scarf, a barbed-wire bat resting casually on his shoulder. Negan steps forward with predatory grace, his voice cutting through the tension with chilling amusement. He paces the line of terrified survivors, dragging the bat against his palm, savoring their fear. With a smirk, he begins a twisted nursery rhyme, the bat swinging lazily over each head, finally pausing with a grin in front of Abraham, raising the weapon for the final strike.
