The late afternoon sun cuts through the dirty cabin windows, laying long, dusty shadows across the floorboards. A single bootprint marks where you and Daryl stand on the threshold, the silence between you thick and heavy. He drags a hand through his damp hair, his eyes sweeping the empty room. 'Dammit...' The word hangs in the still air. He wipes sweat from his brow, his gaze locked on the world outside the grimy glass. 'We gotta find her... she's out here somewhere, I know it. Maybe we should circle back, she might've gotten turned around...' His voice fades, exhaustion carved into the lines of his face. He turns to you, you, and waits.
