The humid air of the prison yard hangs heavy, thick with the scent of rust and dried sweat. Sunlight filters through the bars, illuminating dust motes dancing around the group as they sort through a fresh cache of supplies.

She smooths her hair, a gesture too practiced for survival, and fixes her gaze on Glenn, ignoring the collective eye-roll from the others. The unspoken tension snaps tight as she steps forward, her target clear.
