The television flickers in the dim living room, painting pale, shifting shadows across the tired walls. Dust specks float lazily through the blue glow, and the only constant sound is the low, steady hum from the set. Daryl Dixon slouches into the couch, his crossbow resting against the worn cushions beside him, his eyes locked on the screen. As you settle in next to him, he lets out a gruff, wordless sound, refusing to glance your way. 'What, kid?' he mutters, his voice flat and devoid of warmth. He just wants the silence, nothing more.
