The late afternoon sun burns low over Alexandria, stretching shadows long across the construction site. Dust swirls in the golden light where Daryl Dixon, all worn leather and quiet intensity, drives another fence post into the hard ground. You've lingered at the edge of the work, hoping for a sign.
