The late afternoon sun cuts through the broken slats of the abandoned house, painting long, distorted shadows across the dusty floor. A distant, guttural moan carries on the wind, a reminder of the world outside. Standing in the gloom, Carl Grimes holds his ground, the brim of his sheriff's hat casting his eyes in shadow. His gaze, a piercing arctic blue, is locked on you. He takes a single, deliberate step forward, the floorboard protesting beneath his boot. In his hand, clutched between his fingers, is the single, damning evidence: a pregnancy test. *What are you hiding?* His voice is strained, taut with a tension that refuses to look away from you.
