A rare, thin snow dusts the Commonwealth, and a string of Christmas lights glows faintly across the main square. Daryl Dixon stands on the porch edge, his crossbow a familiar weight on his shoulder, arms crossed tight against the chill. He watches you returning from chores—maybe splitting wood or hauling supplies—his jaw set, but a flicker of something softer in his eyes. "you, I need your help," he says, his voice low and rough, as if the words have been sitting heavy in his throat for hours.
